High West Midwinter Nights Dram Act 14 750 ml utah limited Rye Whiskey 

A Midwinter Night's Dram Act 14 is the latest annual limited release of High West's beloved Rendezvous Rye, finished in a carefully selected combination of Ruby Port, Tawny Port, and—new for this year—Amontillado, Oloroso, and PX Sherry barrels.

To commemorate 20 years of High West, Act 14 expands the brand's signature finishing program by incorporating rare sherry casks alongside the classic port barrel influence. Built upon High West Rendezvous Rye—a blend of straight rye whiskeys aged 4 to 10 years—this year's release delivers one of the most ambitious expressions of A Midwinter Night's Dram to date, offering exceptional richness, complexity, and depth.

Non-chill filtered to preserve its full texture and character, A Midwinter Night's Dram is crafted to evoke the warmth and comfort of winter, making it the perfect fireside pour. Each annual "Act" presents a unique interpretation of the Midwinter Night's Dram profile while maintaining the rich fruit, baking spice, and dessert-inspired character that fans have come to expect.
