Oh, let me tell ya somethin’ ‘bout this whiskey they call A Midnight Dram Whiskey. Now, I don’t know all them fancy words them experts use, but I’ll tell ya what, this drink sure got folks talkin’. This here whiskey comes from High West Distillery, and I heard they’re from Utah. Ain’t that somethin’? Way out there, and they makin’ whiskey that’s catchin’ folks’ eyes.
This whiskey ain’t somethin’ you see every day. They only release it every now and then, so when it shows up, folks rush to get their hands on it. You see, it’s not just any rye whiskey. They let this one sit in some barrels that had Port wine in ‘em before. Now, I ain’t no wine drinker, but I heard Port’s that sweet kind, and it gives this whiskey a taste folks can’t stop gabbin’ about. Somethin’ like plums or them dried fruits, y’know? It’s got that flavor, but still keepin’ that vanilla, caramel, and a lil’ bit of cinnamon you get from rye.
Now, lemme tell ya, they been makin’ this stuff for a few years. Folks say the latest one, that 2024 version, is somethin’ special. Better than last year’s, they say. I don’t know how they do it, but every year it’s a bit different. Some folks even compare all the different batches, like them 2017 ones, all the way up to 2022. I figure you’d have to be real patient to sit down and try all them different ones, but folks seem to enjoy it. Each year, they say, got its own thing goin’ on.
And oh, this whiskey? They age it for a good while too, between four to seven years, from what I hear. Now, I don’t know all the exacts, but folks like to guess how long each batch has been sittin’ in them barrels. Some say there’s parts of it that’s about six years old, but it’s all a mystery how much they use and all that. Don’t matter to me though – long as it tastes good, right?
Folks say this whiskey’s real smooth. The rye gives it that good spice, but that Port finish – well, that’s what makes it special. You know what? When I first heard ‘bout it, I figured it was just another drink, but I’m hearin’ more and more folks talkin’ ‘bout how it’s worth every sip. Even got some folks savin’ it for special times, like a holiday or a big ol’ gathering.
So if you ever come ‘cross A Midnight Dram Whiskey, don’t wait too long to grab it. It’s one of them things you won’t find every day. Get a glass, sit back, and enjoy the way it warms ya up, inside and out. Just don’t be surprised if you end up wantin’ more after the first sip. This one’s got somethin’ a little extra special, I reckon. Them Port barrels, that rye, all them years it sat there waitin’ – it’s like it was made just to make folks smile.
