Milk & Honey Classic is an Israeli Single Malt Whisky produced in Tel Aviv. The distillery's first permanent expression, it is representative of the style developed by M&H and its unique approach to maturation under the Israeli climate.
Made from malted barley and distilled in a pot still , this whisky is matured in ex-Bourbon casks (80%) and STR casks (20%) that previously held red wine. The STR process, for Shaving, Toasting and Re-charring, involves preparing the casks by removing a thin layer of wood before toasting and re-charring them.
Combining these different types of casks allows M&H to leverage various maturation influences while preserving an expression true to the distillery's identity. Aging takes place in Tel Aviv, where the unique climatic conditions play a crucial role in the whisky's development, particularly due to the intense sunshine and significant temperature variations.
