High West Launches A Midwinter Night’s Dram Act 13

High West has announced the 2025 release of A Midwinter Night’s Dram, an annual, limited release of High West Rendezvous Rye finished in French oak Ruby and Tawny Port barrels.

This year’s release, Act 13, is a blend of two rye mash bills: 95% rye/5% barley malt from MGP and 80% rye/20% malted rye from High West.

High West A Midwinter Night’s Dram Act 13 is described as having aromas of “crushed blackberries, mandarin zest, almond shortbread, fig jam, dulce de membrillo, allspice, old vine zinfandel, and plum syrup spilled on a mahogany table.” The palate exhibits notes of “marionberry preserves, chocolate-dripped cherries, marbled rye bread, mochaccino cinnamon bark, oolong tea, winter pine, and smoldering Havana cigar.” The finish has notes of “velvety and spiced–chai fold foam, clove-studded orange flesh, and soft ginger chew.”

High West A Midwinter Night’s Dram Act 13 is bottled non-chill filtered at 49.3% ABV (98.6 proof) and is available in limited quantities at a suggested retail price $149.99.
