A Midwinter Nights Dram and the Pappy of Ryes?

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.
