Tonight, we pour the poetic and port-finished Midwinter Night’s Dram from High West — affectionately dubbed the Pappy of Rye (though not quite in price).
We explore:
🥃 The unique blend of two rye mash bills (95/5 & 80/20)
🍇 Rich notes of soaked currants, raisins & plum
🍷 The port barrel finish that delivers that wintery hug
❄️ Why this dram is best enjoyed in front of a fire with chocolate
📦 Why it’s harder to find in the US than in Australia
A rye so smooth it makes you feel like you’re snowed in — and fine with it.
