High West A Midwinter Nights Dram

Situated at the bottom of the Quitting Time Ski Run in Park City, High West Distillery and Saloon is the first distillery in Utah since Prohibition and the only ski-in gastro-distillery in the world. "We wanted to call High West a "saloon", says David Perkins, High Wests founder, "because we wanted to pay homage to the history of saloons in the old West and the important role they played in each and every town that had one. The saloon was the main meeting place where town hall was held, important announcements were made, and people went to eat and drink. We want people to share that sense of community and friendship over High West."High West A Midwinter Nights Dram is a limited edition rye whiskey just released by High West Distillery. The whiskey is made from a marriage of six year-old rye whiskey (made from 95 percent rye and 5 percent malted barley) and sixteen year old-rye whiskey (made from a mash of 80 percent rye, 10 percent corn, 10 percent barley malt). After the rye whiskies were married together, they were finished in French oak barrels and barrels that were previously used to mature port. "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," says Perkins. "It tastes like a proper Christmas plum pudding with lovely mulling spices, dried fruits and crme Anglaise. We knew this was just perfect in the middle of a long cold winter."High West A Midwinter Nights Dram is a limited edition whiskey, and we have only a handful of bottles available. Pick one up today!
