Description

This single cask, selected exclusively for Bresser & Timmer, reveals the full and spicy side of Milk & Honey. The spirit distilled in 2019 matured for just over three years in a single oloroso sherry cask, with Tel Aviv’s warm climate creating intense interaction between whisky and oak. Dark fruit, chocolate and roasted nuts meet the honeyed sweetness and vibrant spice for which the distillery has become known.

Cask #2019-1496 was bottled in 2022 at a powerful cask strength of 57%, without chill filtration or added colouring. With only 306 bottles released, this is a small-scale bottling for enthusiasts of expressive sherry-matured whisky with plenty of concentration, warmth and character.

Tasting note
Geur

Vol en rijk met rozijnen, gedroogde vijgen en rijpe pruimen. Donkere honing, sinaasappelschil en romige vanille worden gevolgd door pure chocolade, geroosterde amandelen en een warme toets van kaneel.

Smaak

Krachtig en geconcentreerd met donker gedroogd fruit, kersen en gekaramelliseerde sinaasappel. Chocolade, honing en noten worden aangevuld door kruidnagel, nootmuskaat en zwarte peper. Het oloroso sherryvat zorgt voor een volle structuur en een stevige, kruidige diepte.

Afdronk

Lang en verwarmend met rozijnen, cacao en geroosterde noten. Kaneel, peper en kruidig eikenhout blijven achter naast een aanhoudende toon van donkere honing.

Milk & Honey Distillery

M&H Distillery, short for Milk & Honey, was founded in Tel Aviv in 2013 and is regarded as Israel’s first whisky distillery. Its founders set out to combine international whisky traditions with the climate, ingredients and innovative spirit of their own country. Dr Jim Swan, a leading specialist in whisky production and maturation in warm climates, was brought in to help develop the distillery. His work included advising on the layout, copper stills and the character of the spirit.

M&H produces single malt whisky from malted barley and uses double distillation in copper pot stills. The Mediterranean climate, with around three hundred days of sunshine each year, accelerates interaction between spirit and oak while also causing a high rate of evaporation. Alongside maturation in Tel Aviv, the distillery places casks in several of Israel’s climate zones, including the desert, the mountains and the area surrounding the Dead Sea.

Bourbon, sherry, wine and experimental casks allow M&H to explore a broad range of styles. Its whisky is often characterised by ripe fruit, honey, vanilla, spice and a clear yet well-balanced cask influence.
