High West — the third annual release of the port-finished rye series, Utah straight rye whiskey finished in French oak port wine casks and French Limousin oak, a collector's bottle from the series' foundational era that captures the Midwinter Night's Dram formula hitting its stride.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy Act 3, Midwinter Night's Dram had established itself as one of American craft whiskey's most anticipated annual releases. The port cask finishing framework was consistent: French oak port wine barrels add dark cherry, fig, and chocolate to the rye's inherent pepper and grain spice, while Limousin oak contributes fine-grained tannin and vanilla structure. Act 3 represents an accessible entry point into early Midwinter Night's Dram collecting relative to Acts 1 and 2 — still foundational, still scarce, still exceptional.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brandied cherries, Calimyrna figs, allspice, grapefruit zest, French oak, vanilla caramel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark cherry, cocoa, cinnamon, spiced plum, rye spice, port sweetness, dried fruit\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warming rye spice, dark cherry, cocoa, lingering port sweetness\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e High West Distillery, Park City, Utah\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Straight Rye Whiskey, Port Cask Finished\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e French oak port wine casks + French Limousin oak\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e A Midwinter Night's Dram — Act 3\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 49.3% (98.6 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse the full \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/high-west\"\u003eHigh West collection at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat port casks finish Midwinter Night's Dram?\u003c\/strong\u003e French oak barrels that previously held port wine — contributing dark cherry, fig, dried plum, and chocolate notes that complement the rye spice and grain character.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIs Act 3 a good collector's investment?\u003c\/strong\u003e Earlier Acts have appreciated significantly on the secondary market — Act 3 represents a mid-tier entry with strong collector demand relative to supply.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow should Act 3 be served?\u003c\/strong\u003e Neat at room temperature — the port cask complexity and rye spice are best appreciated without ice dilution.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What port casks finish Midwinter Night's Dram?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"French oak barrels that previously held port wine — contributing dark cherry, fig, dried plum, and chocolate notes that complement the rye spice.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is Act 3 a good collector's investment?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Earlier Acts have appreciated significantly on the secondary market — Act 3 is a mid-tier entry with strong collector demand relative to supply.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How should Act 3 be served?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Neat at room temperature — the port cask complexity and rye spice are best appreciated without ice dilution.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"High West","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42903845142599,"sku":"High-West-Midwinter-Nights-Dram-Act-3","price":979.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0640\/2375\/files\/high-west-midwinter-nights-dram_4d1908e3-4b9e-416d-8ca1-65b54e8f16d3.png?v=1782409977","url":"https:\/\/bourbonnest.com\/products\/high-west-midwinter-nights-dram-act-3","provider":"Bourbon Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
