So, this here’s a story ‘bout a drink, and it’s got a name all fancy-like: A Midsummer Night’s Dram. Now, don’t let the name fool ya – it ain’t no Shakespeare play, even though it might sound like it! Nope, this dram’s all about the whiskey, and a good one at that, specially made for those who appreciate a bit of something special in their glass on a nice summer night.
Now, the folks who make this dram, they got a knack for fine whiskey. They’re out in Utah, at a place called High West Distillery. These fellas know how to work their magic on rye whiskey, and each year, they bring out a limited-edition batch just in time for the colder months. This whiskey’s got all sorts of fancy touches, bein’ finished up in barrels that once held port, giving it a flavor that’s just outta this world!
Imagine this – you take a sip, and you get a whiff of vanilla, a taste of caramel, maybe a hint of cinnamon. And then, just when you think it’s all done, there’s this touch of plum and dried fruit that sneaks up on ya. It’s a bit like a summer dream, sweet but with a bit of spice, just enough to keep things interesting. That’s what makes this whiskey somethin’ folks look forward to every year, like a holiday treat.
This dram’s got a bit of everything that makes it special. It’s a blend of rye whiskeys, carefully aged and then finished up nice and smooth in them port barrels. Some folks say it’s like drinking the best of both worlds – the bold flavor of rye with that nice, rich sweetness from the port barrels. Kinda like how love’s both a little sweet and a little crazy, like that play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
- Vanilla – gives it that warm, comforting flavor
- Caramel – adds a bit of smoothness and sweetness
- Cinnamon – brings a little kick, kinda like a spicy surprise
- Plum and Dried Fruit – adds richness, like a dessert after a big meal
Now, High West Distillery sure does take pride in this drink of theirs. They release it only once a year, and it’s always a little different each time, just like how every summer’s got its own memories. When it’s time to bring it out, folks line up for it, ‘cause they know once it’s gone, they’ll have to wait till next year to get a taste again.
This here dram is for the folks who like to slow down a bit, take it easy with friends, and enjoy a drink that’s a bit more than just whiskey in a glass. It’s got depth, a bit of sweetness, and a bit of warmth, perfect for sippin’ on a night when the weather’s nice, or even by a cozy fire when it’s chilly out.
If you ever get a chance to try it, remember – take a good slow sip. Let the flavors roll around a bit. This dram ain’t just about gettin’ tipsy; it’s about enjoyin’ the art of good whiskey. And once that last drop’s gone, well, you’ll be lookin’ forward to the next summer night when you can pour yourself another dram, and maybe, just maybe, feel like you’re livin’ in a dream.
