 Merry wanderers of the night, take heed! High West Distillery & Saloon, Park City’s award-winning, ski-in gastro-distillery, is proud to announce the release of its latest spirit, A Midwinter Night’s Dram™. Named after Shakespeare’s comedy about love “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” the newest whiskey debuted on Valentine’s Day. A Midwinter Night’s Dram™ is a limited-release of High West’s award winning Rendezvous Rye whiskey finished for several months in port and French oak barrels. “The rye forms a beautiful vanilla, caramel and cinnamon base, the port barrels add plums and dried fruits, and the French Oak adds a spice accent,” High West proprietor David Perkins said. “It tastes like a proper Christmas plum pudding with lovely mulling spices, dried fruits and crème Anglaise. We knew this was just perfect in the middle of a long cold winter.”

A Midwinter Night’s Dram™ joins 4 other award-winning High West spirits at our stores. Bottled at 98.6 proof so it goes in at body temperature and retail priced at $79.99 per 750ML bottle, it is available at Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville and Woodbridge for only $73.99 per bottle.

“Whiskey is an indispensable part of making it through a long, cold winter,” Perkins said. “In ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream,’ Lysander describes how quickly true love can vanish. We feel the same about a dram of our new whiskey. But rest assured, if you savor it slowly, we can attest that A Midwinter Night’s Dram™ will help you through the coldest night.”
