Elements Peated is an Israeli Single Malt Whisky produced by the Milk & Honey Distillery in Tel Aviv. This expression is part of the Elements collection, a range dedicated to exploring different maturation influences on the distillery's single malt.
Made from malted barley, this whisky is unique in that it does not use any distillate made from peated barley. Its smoky character comes from maturing a portion of the distillate in ex-peated whisky casks from Islay, Scotland.
The blend combines several types of casks to create the final expression: ex-Islay whisky casks, ex-bourbon casks, STR (Shaved, Toasted and Re-charred) casks, and new oak casks. The different distillates are matured for at least three years before being blended.
This approach illustrates Milk & Honey's desire to explore the possibilities offered by maturation under the Israeli climate, while using casks from different traditions in the world of whisky.
