Like the works of our favorite playwright, William Shakespeare, a glass of A Midwinter Night's Dram is made to be savored, and overall too quickly. This limited-release whiskey is a sumptuous marriage of rye whiskeys finished in Port barrels. The rye forms a beautiful base of vanilla, caramel, and cinnamon while the port barrels provide notes of plum, dried fruit, and spice. Like a proper holiday plum pudding, it's brimming with lovely mulling spices, dried fruits, and crème anglaise. Sip it slowly through the coldest night.
Nose: Underripe apricots, ginger poached pears, soft licorice, apple butter on fresh bread, Earl Grey tea, a cedar box, geraniums after a spring rain.
Taste: Peach marmalade, grapefruit zest, Danish pastry with brandy drizzle, grated nutmeg, vanilla meringue pie, roasted pecans.
Finish: Marzipan and chocolate mint leaves. Enchanting.
We recommend that you enjoy this spirit neat, due to its many layers of complexity, next to a warm fire as the snow piles up on the window sill.
