Milk & Honey Dead Sea Israeli Single Malt Whisky (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 55.5% Age: No Age Statement Country: Israel
The Milk & Honey Distillery was established in 2014 and is located in Tel Aviv, Israel’s first city and the heart of Israel’s culinary and drinking scene. It is here the owners of the distillery collect their inspiration and passion for their whisky and strive to make world class spirits. It’s no secret that the climate in the middle east os hot and dry with an average 300 days of sun recorded each year. The climate is used in this instance to create a whisky which takes on specific terroir and challenges centuries old techniques and traditions. With a minimum of three years maturation the whisky is graceful. The distillery hired the late Dr Jim Swan, one of the world’s most accomplished Master Distillers and an expert in hot climate distillation and maturation, as an advisor. With its own custom made traditional copper still and the use of exceptional barrels which include but not limited to, ex-Bourbon, ex-red wine and kosher sherry barrels the Distillery produce some excellent whisky.
Milk and Honey Distillery aged this whisky at the lowest place on Earth, the Dead Sea, where the temperatures can reach as high as 50 degrees C. That’s almost unheard of for whisky!
Big and bold – intense spice and vanilla give this expression an exceptional quality, and well worth trying!
