High West — the eighth annual release of the port-finished rye series, Utah straight rye whiskey finished in French oak port wine casks and French Limousin oak, a late-series collector's bottle that benefits from the accumulated craftsmanship of seven prior releases.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAct 8 arrives in a period where Midwinter Night's Dram had become one of the most anticipated allocated whiskeys in American craft spirits. The whiskey maintains the series' DNA: High West's straight rye blend, carefully selected French oak port wine casks, and the fine-grained tannin contribution of Limousin oak — producing the holiday warmth, dark fruit, and rye spice that define every Act in the archive. Act 8 is a strong choice for collectors who missed earlier releases and want a series bottle without the significant secondary market premium of Acts 1–5.\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 8\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 tasting notes define Midwinter Night's Dram?\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark cherry, cocoa, dried plum, cinnamon, and black pepper — the port cask sweetness and rye spice in the series' characteristic balance.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIs Act 8 better value than earlier Acts for drinkers?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — for those primarily motivated by the whiskey rather than collector value, later Acts deliver the same core experience at a fraction of the secondary market cost of Acts 1–3.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the best way to enjoy Midwinter Night's Dram?\u003c\/strong\u003e Neat at room temperature or with a very small amount of water — the port and rye complexity opens beautifully without ice.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What tasting notes define Midwinter Night's Dram?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Dark cherry, cocoa, dried plum, cinnamon, and black pepper — the port cask sweetness and rye spice in the series' characteristic balance.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is Act 8 better value than earlier Acts for drinkers?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes — later Acts deliver the same core experience at a fraction of the secondary market cost of Acts 1–3.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the best way to enjoy Midwinter Night's Dram?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Neat at room temperature or with a very small amount of water — the port and rye complexity opens beautifully without ice.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"High West","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42903844880455,"sku":"high-west-midwinter-nights-dram-act-8","price":379.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0640\/2375\/files\/high-west-midwinter-nights-dram_6cc867a1-bfcf-400e-9a43-c94721d0e194.png?v=1782409970","url":"https:\/\/bourbonnest.com\/products\/high-west-midwinter-nights-dram-act-8","provider":"Bourbon Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
