Milk & Honey Classic Single Malt

Milk & Honey are an urban distillery. Located in one of Tel Aviv’s up and coming neighborhoods. M&H is a part of the city’s fabric, among entrepreneurs and innovators, makers and artisans. The distillery was designed and built to be in the directors hometown, along with the beachfront, the lively markets and the architecture.

Israel’s 300 sunny days in an average year and the Mediterranean climate are the distilleries greatest advantage. Hot climate maturation means that the whisky ages rapidly, yet significantly, gracefully. Whisky made in warmer weather takes on specific terroir which yields unique flavors that somewhat differ from their Old-World counterparts. M&H's methods, technique and equipment carry on centuries-old knowledge and they keep the tradition of a minimum of three years of aging.

M&H Classic Single Malt

It’s been a long wait, but Milk & Honey’s first ongoing single malt whisky has finally arrived! Introducing Milk & Honey Classic Single Malt Whisky.

The distillery opened in Tel Aviv in Israel in 2014 and ever since has been telling fans that a flagship whisky would launch when it was ready. It’s now ready and it has been worth the wait.

Bringing together ex-bourbon casks with the distillery’s own STR casks – shaved, toasted and recharred red-wine casks – it balances sweet honey and lemon notes against spice and vanilla.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A big hit of honey and lemon leads to brown-sugar topped porridge. The oaty notes get biscuity, with vanilla and more zesty lemon. Flapjacks develop, with hints of sultana and raisin.

Palate: Layers of honey kick things off: sweet runny honey with a hint of manuka. Dark chocolate sits behind, studded with candied lemon peel. Grainy notes develop: the flapjacks from the nose are joined by oatcakes and vanilla shortbread, all drizzled with honey.

Finish: A burst of barrel char is overtaken by toasted granola, even more honey and bittersweet dark chocolate.
