A Midwinter Night's Dram Act 9. High West — the ninth annual release of the port-finished rye series, Utah straight rye whiskey finished in French oak port wine casks and French Limousin oak, one of the final Acts before the milestone tenth release and a collector's bottle with strong demand among those completing the full series.
Act 9 sits just before the highly anticipated decade milestone of Act 10 — making it one of the last chapters before Midwinter Night's Dram completed its first full decade of releases. High West's blending team had nine years of port cask finishing experience behind them, and the cask selection and rye blend composition for Act 9 reflects that accumulated expertise. For collectors, Act 9 is a natural buy alongside Act 10 — the penultimate Act before the milestone release, distinct in character due to year-specific rye blend and barrel selection.
