The Milk & Honey Distillery Apex Dead Sea Aged Israeli Single Malt Whisky 700ml

Established in 2014 in Tel Aviv the heart of Israel’s culinary and drinking scene. Milk & Honey Distillery produces whiskies that are not only kosher they use the climate to create a whisky which takes on their specific terroir (It’s no secret that the weather in the middle east is hot and dry). 

This bottle of Milk & Honey Apex is an exploration of places and matters: Head Distiller, Tomer Goren, specifically selects exceptional casks for each batch, chosen for their distinct location of maturation or to showcase the magic of wood and terroir. The M&H Apex Dead Sea is limited to only 4,892 bottles. It is the very first whisky ever to be aged in the lowest place on earth - the Dead Sea. With temperatures climbing as high as 50°c, this whisky is as strong and intense as the climate it has matured in.

As part of the daring Apex Dead Sea project, an array of casks from a variety of types and sizes were placed on the roof of a hotel on the coast of the Dead Sea, exposed to the harsh and dynamic weather for one year (of its entire aging period. resulting in almost 25% angels' share during that time. The M&H Apex Dead Sea is a single malt whisky like no other. It is an adventure we went on, driven by love for whisky and innovative spunk.

AROMA: Sweet with French vanilla and mocha, notes of cigar box and a refreshing hint of spearmint, pleasant oakiness in the background. 

PALATE: A gentle beginning with black tea leaves followed by a powerful wave of warm spices such as cinnamon and coriander seeds, dark cocoa powder and a pinch of crushed white pepper.

FINISH: Long and satisfying with candied ginger and cloves, joined by a bouquet of toasted herbs and coarse sea salt.
