Milk & Honey
Distillery, Israel’s first whisky
distillery, to launch a second edition
of its single malt whisky Experimental
Series at Whisky Live Tel Aviv 2018.
 After
making history in 2017 Milk & Honey,
Israel's First Single Malt Whisky, has
announced that it will launch a second
edition of its single malt whisky
Experimental Series.
Milk & Honey Experimental Series 2nd Edition
single malt whisky will launch at Whisky
Live 2018 in Tel Aviv on 14th - 15th
March.
Similar to the first single malt whisky
released last year, this cask is also
part of the Experimental Series, which
was distilled in the early stages of
setting up the distillery – before
establishing the distillery in south Tel
Aviv and acquiring the current
industrial equipment, and before
crowd-funding through Indiegogo. This
cask was distilled during April 2014.
Distillation of the cask was carried out
in a small pot still in a warehouse in
the Sharon region by head distiller
Tomer Goren, accompanied by the late Dr.
Jim Swan, an international master
distiller, in his role as consultant to
the distillery at the time. This was a
period of experimentation for Dr. Swan
and Tomer Goren, using various
interesting raw materials, and in this
special cask they first experimented
with peated malt, which was crafted in
house and gave the distillate light
smoky notes.
The liquid was aged and matured over 43
months in two types of barrel – first in
a new 225 litre American oak cask, and
then, after 28 months, it was
transferred to an ex-bourbon cask for
the remainder of the period in the
distillation warehouse in Tel Aviv, and
bottled at the optimal time.
Milk & Honey tell me this this series is
a harbinger of what is to come: a unique
Israeli whisky, mature for its age
thanks to aging in Israel’s hot climate.
The Milk & Honey Experimental Series 2nd Edition
was bottled at 46% ABV and is a limited
release of 324 bottles, it can be tasted and purchased for the
first time at the "Whisky Live Tel Aviv
2018"event, afterwards the new single
malt will be available at specialised
stores around Israel.

Milk & Honey Experimental Series 2nd Edition Review
|
Producer's Tasting Notes:
Nose:
A delicate maltiness with a hint of
lemon in the background, combined with
light oak notes and cinnamon, all
enveloped in light peat smoke appearing
in the background.
Taste:
Light-bodied with a malty sweetness,
lemon and orange peel notes followed by
a light tang of black pepper and
delicate peat smoke. These combine to
make a whisky that is both balanced and
complex.
Finish:
Long. Delicate peat dominates the
finish, with a hint of maltiness in the
background and dark chocolate notes.
