Milk & Honey Apex Dead Sea Batch #2 is an Israeli Single Malt produced by the M&H distillery in Tel Aviv from malted barley , then distilled in traditional copper pot stills .
This expression belongs to the Apex range, a collection that explores the influence of maturation conditions on whisky. For this particular expression, the casks were transported to the shores of the Dead Sea, 423 meters below sea level, where they were exposed for a year to exceptionally extreme climatic conditions. Temperatures there can reach 50°C, promoting accelerated maturation and significant evaporation: the angel's share thus reaches nearly 25% over this period.
Apex Dead Sea Batch #2 was matured in ex-Bourbon casks , subjected to these exceptional climatic conditions. This experiment is part of M&H's ongoing effort to explore the influence of climate and maturation location on the evolution of whisky.
