The Story
High West A Midwinter Night's Dram 2024 Act 12 Scene 4 is a highly anticipated annual limited-edition release that masterfully captures the essence of the winter season in a glass. The foundation of this premium spirit begins with High West’s acclaimed Rendezvous Rye—a thoughtful blend of straight rye whiskeys—which is then finished in a combination of ruby and tawny port wine casks as well as French Limousin oak barrels. Act 12 delivers an exquisitely complex profile, presenting an enticing nose of brandied cherries, pecan cinnamon rolls, allspice, and dark figs. The velvety palate unfolds with rich layers of poached white peaches, stewed rhubarb, tiramisu, and spiced plum, perfectly framed by robust rye spice. It concludes with a long, warming finish accented by dark cocoa, cinnamon bark, and lingering port sweetness.
Food Pairing: This deeply layered, festive rye pairs magnificently with rich desserts such as a traditional sticky toffee pudding, molten dark chocolate lava cake, or a spiced gingerbread tart. On the savory side, it cuts through the fat of a roasted duck breast served with a cherry reduction, a charred prime ribeye steak, or an artisanal cheese board featuring stilton blue cheese and candied pecans.
