High West A Midwinter’s Night’s Dram Act 14 750mL is the 2026 edition of High West Distillery’s celebrated limited-release rye whiskey. Inspired by Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, A Midwinter’s Night’s Dram takes a carefully selected blend of straight rye whiskeys and finishes it in Port wine barrels, creating a rich combination of rye spice, dark fruit, and dessert-like sweetness. Act 14 continues one of High West’s most anticipated annual traditions, offering a distinctive cold-weather whiskey built around the contrast between bold American rye and fruit-forward Port cask influence.

A Midwinter’s Night’s Dram Act 14 delivers layers of ripe berries, dried fruit, caramel, vanilla, and warming rye spice. The Port barrel finish contributes notes of fig, plum, cherry, and berry preserves, while the rye brings cinnamon, clove, black pepper, and herbal spice. Rich caramel and seasoned oak round out the palate before a long, warming finish of dark fruit, baking spice, vanilla, and lingering oak.
