- Description
- Milk & Honey's 2017 single malt was matured in an ex-Islay cask—American oak previously used for Scotch whisky from the south coast—creating a bridge between Israeli and Scottish whisky traditions. At three years old and bottled at a robust 66.1%, this spirit carries the influence of its peated predecessor without overwhelming the distillery's own character. The combination of youth and high alcohol intensity suggests bold, spirited flavours with residual smoke and coastal notes. A compelling experiment in cask influence and terroir for those curious about emerging whisky regions.
