High West A Midwinter Night's Dram Act 10 rye whiskey review: Festive, fruity and spicy, High West's highly sought-after rye certainly feels like a holiday treat. whiskey ryewhiskey bourbon
When it comes to limited release bourbon and rye whiskey, the “finished” corner of the market is an interesting little fiefdom. Although many of the most hyped, premiere products in this space simply feature big age statements and big proofs, finishing a spirit in fortified wine or alternate spirit barrels can also confer “prestige” status in some cases … though not all.
But wait, there’s more. This year, High West is also celebrating the brand’s first decade with an even more limited edition version of “MWND,” dubbed Encore. Like the original version, Encore is likewise rye whiskey finished in port barrels, but the considerably more limited Encore is finished only in barrels that previously contained white port, as opposed to the ruby and tawny ports features in the standard MWND.
On the nose, I’m getting musty rye and earthy tones, supporting by stewed and dark dried fruit. There’s a molasses-like caramelization with a suggestion of a little bitterness, and also a tea-like maltiness, perhaps indicative of the brand’s own distillate with malted rye. It’s a significantly earthy profile, with a grain character the evokes something like a hayloft, combined with the more expected vinous notes and concentrated fruitiness, clearly byproducts of the port barrels.
