High West A Midwinter Night’s Dram Act 13 Straight Rye Whiskey

The curtain rises once again on one of whiskey’s most celebrated limited editions — High West A Midwinter Night’s Dram Act 13 Straight Rye Whiskey. A poetic blend of craftsmanship and storytelling, this release captures the romance of a winter evening by the fire, wrapped in spice, warmth, and wonder. Crafted in the mountains of Utah, each “Act” represents a new performance — and Act 13 delivers a masterpiece of balance, complexity, and depth.

Product Overview

A Midwinter Night’s Dram begins as High West’s award-winning Rendezvous Rye, a blend of straight rye whiskies known for its robust spice and honeyed grain character. For this annual limited release, the whiskey undergoes a secondary maturation in French oak and Port barrels, where it develops layers of dark fruit, spice, and toasted sweetness.

The result is an exceptionally rich and expressive whiskey that evokes holiday nostalgia and fireside storytelling — perfectly bottled at 49.3% ABV (98.6 proof). Every sip feels like a scene from a classic winter tale.
