Expect polished vanilla and toffee at its core, layered with red-fruit accents and soft oak. A modern, approachable whisky with regional personality.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced by Milk & Honey Distillery in Tel Aviv, Israel, this whisky uses 100% malted barley distilled in copper pot stills and matured under a warm Mediterranean climate, which accelerates maturation. In this “Elements” series bottling, the spirit spends initial time in ex-bourbon barrels before being finished in pomegranate wine casks sourced locally—the finishing influence imparting subtle fruit and spice character.
Critics Reviews
-
One reviewer noted: “This whisky was aged in ex-bourbon casks for the first two-and-a-half years, and then finished in pomegranate wine casks for six months… the bourbon notes of vanilla and toffee are clearly evident… the pomegranate-wine has provided the fruity, petrichor, tobacco and spice layers.”
-
Another described it as “a very nice, easy-going sipping whisky… vaguely red-fruited and beeswax-polished oak-sweet dram, perfect for an after-dinner glass.”
These remarks point to a well-balanced dram—not a heavy mainstream sherry bomb, but an engaging alternative.
Tasting Profile
-
Nose: Soft vanilla pod, honeyed toffee, subtle red berries in the background; oak polish and a hint of dry spice soil.
-
Palate: Medium body. Golden malt sweetness opens, followed by red-fruit echoes (think ripe pomegranate seed, berry compote), light caramel and a trace of roasted nuts. Warm spice (gentle pepper and wood-tannins) joins as the finish builds.
-
Finish: Smooth and moderately long with lingering hints of red-fruit cake, toasted oak, soft honey and a dry, warming after-taste of spice and malt.
