Milk and Honey Classic single malt whisky is an excellent single malt from Israel’s first malt whisky distillery. With the help of the late master distiller Jim Swan, M & H Distillery have managed to produce a range of outstanding whiskies. Based in Tel Aviv, the distillery has to contend with a much warmer climate than most whisky-producing regions, and this is where Jim Swan’s expertise came in handy. He specialised in producing whisky in warmer climes, and malts such as Kavalan in Taiwan and Amrut in Taiwan are testament to his expertise. It should come as no surprise then that Milk and Honey single malt is well worth trying.

The Apex editions are limited releases, matured in specially selected exceptional casks. This expression was aged at the Dead Sea, in temperatures sometimes exceeding 50deg C. This intense malt is the result, bottled at 56.2% alc/vol.

Certified Kosher.

Tasting notes:
Nose: Sweet with French vanilla and mocha, notes of cigar box and a refreshing hint of spearmint, pleasant oakiness in the background.
Palate: A gentle startwith black tea leaves followed by a powerful wave of warm spices such as cinnamon and coriander seeds, dark cocoa powder and a pinch of crushed white pepper.
Finish: Long with candied ginger and cloves, joined by a bouquet of toasted herbs and coarse sea salt.
