How to Drink
We recommend that you enjoy this special spirit neat, due to its many layers of complexity, next to a warm fire as the snow piles up on the window sill. It also pairs beautifully with fig cookies.
WHY ACT & SCENE?
Besides being an ode to our favorite playwright, we use "Act" and "Scene" to organize our production run of this product. This is the 9th release, as denoted by the Act number on the bottle. The Scene corresponds to the bottling run, i.e. if you have 'Scene 4', that particular bottle comes from our 4th day of bottling.
WHERE TO BUY?
A Midwinter Night's Dram will be available nationwide starting in October. We recommend asking your favorite High West retailer about this release now. If you are in Utah, A Midwinter Night's Dram will be available at High West's locations in Park City and Wanship Friday, October 1st, 2021 at 11am, in addition to the Utah State Liquor Stores.
