Thanks for this. I am in Canada and this bottling is hard to come by so I paid $15USD (equivalent) higher than the SRP. However what are the Scenes? Are they the same product composition but just different batches issued throughout the year?
Scenes are the bottling runs. Same batch,just bottles on a different day.
High West use “Act” and “Scene” to organize their production runs of A Midwinter Night’s Dram. The Act denotes the release and the Scene corresponds to the bottling run. For example: Act 8, Scene 4 would be the 8th release of A Midwinter Night’s Dram, bottled on the fourth day of bottling.
Please tell me definitively where I can buy this product. My local swill merchant who had it last year does not have any thus far this year. I am in Marietta, Georgia, willing to travel ~ 30 miles or so to purchase. Thanks
