History,
Despite the hot climate and 300 days of sun, Israel is home to many vineyards. At M&H (Milk & Honey) in Tel Aviv, Israel’s first whisky distillery, they have been using local wine casks to age one of their latest whiskies. The M&H Apex Fortified Red Wine Cask promises to showcase terroir while maintaining kosher requisites.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: Smoke, Fresh garden mint with a sweetness makes the whisky smell like a mint julep. Baby powder follows the mint before making way for the fruitier elements. Juicy blackberry and strawberry mingle with bright apricot.
Palate: Smokey with a bit of mint. Honey makes the whisky seem viscous, but it is just the oily mouthfeel. Apricot and nectarine lend some more sweetness, but in a light refreshing way. There is a funk just before the finish, and black pepper sneaks up right behind.
