Milk & Honey (M&H) Whisky Distillery – Elements Red Wine Cask 70 cl. 46%

Try a great, complex and elegant single malt whiskey from Milk & Honey Distillery in Israel. This edition is part of their element series, and is matured in previously used red wine dishes from some of Israel’s best wine producers.

The Mediterranean climate, various soil types, hot sunny days and cool nights develop a spicy and unique Israeli wine – a taste profile that goes well in span with the Israeli whiskey. The smoky aromas and salted taste from the Islay whiskey are beautifully combined with rich vanilla from maturation during the hot Tel Aviv Sun.

Milk & Honey Distillery is Israel’s first whiskey distillery. The distiller is located in Tel Aviv and has since 2012 produced Single Malt and Gin under expert guidance from the now deceased Dr. Jim Swan. Their whiskey is the result of first-class “New Make” as well as maturation in the hot and dry climate in Tel Aviv. On the distillery estimates that the whiskey ripens 2-2.5 time faster than in Scotland, just due to the high heat.

Aroma:
Red, dried fruits with ginger, oak and delicate coconut combine a gentle, mineral profile.

Taste:
The wine dominates the flavoring profile but is accompanied by subtle oak and vanillons followed by gentle flower elements.

Completion:
Lots of dry fruit and end with a touch of raisins.
