High West — the fifth annual release of the port-finished rye series, Utah straight rye whiskey finished in French oak port wine casks and French Limousin oak, marking the series' half-decade milestone and now a sought-after collector's bottle available only through allocated secondary market inventory.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAct 5 represents the series reaching full maturity as an annual whiskey event. By this release, Midwinter Night's Dram had built a dedicated following of collectors who planned purchases months in advance. The whiskey itself maintains the series' signature: High West's straight rye base finished in French oak port wine barrels that add dark fruit, cocoa, and port wine sweetness to the rye's inherent pepper and grain character, with Limousin oak providing tannin structure and vanilla depth. Each Act is subtly distinct from the last — Act 5 has its own character within the series canon.\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 5\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\u003eWhen is Midwinter Night's Dram typically released?\u003c\/strong\u003e High West releases a new Act each fall, typically in October or November — aligning the port-finished rye's warmth with the start of cold-weather sipping season.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIs Act 5 still available at retail?\u003c\/strong\u003e Original retail stock is exhausted — available inventory is secondary market allocation only.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow should I store a bottle of Midwinter Night's Dram?\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, away from direct light and heat, in a cool stable environment.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"When is Midwinter Night's Dram typically released?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"High West releases a new Act each fall, typically in October or November.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is Act 5 still available at retail?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Original retail stock is exhausted — available inventory is secondary market allocation only.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How should I store a bottle of Midwinter Night's Dram?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Upright, away from direct light and heat, in a cool stable environment.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"High West","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42903844978759,"sku":"High-West-Midwinter-Nights-Dram-Act-5","price":679.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0640\/2375\/files\/high-west-midwinter-nights-dram_7bf2d461-79a2-44e4-b920-860a0e01c55f.png?v=1782409975","url":"https:\/\/bourbonnest.com\/products\/high-west-midwinter-nights-dram-act-5","provider":"Bourbon Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
