Product description
Milk & Honey (M&H) Distillery, based in Tel Aviv, was established in 2013 and is Israel’s first whiskey distillery. Its production capacity is 800,000 liters of distillate per year, currently at 25% utilization.
The first distillation of the whisky took place in March 2015, and its international debut took place at the end of 2019. The warm climate of Israel (temperature from 16 to 40ºC) undoubtedly speeds up the maturation process, but also increases the so-called "angel's share" by up to 10% per year. M&H whisky is generally not available in the offers of independent publishers, but every rule has its exceptions, and the edition presented here is one such. The whisky distilled on September 17, 2018, spent over three years in a bourbon barrel no. 2018-0674 and was bottled by the Polish publisher, Iconic Art Spirits in February 2022, in an edition of 288 bottles.
