North Star Spirits Milk & Honey 4 Year Old M&H Single Cask Series 23 (2023) 70cl
Milk & Honey from Israel are a fascinating company. The whisky first goes down in ABV and then due to the climate, goes back up in ABV all; the while losing water from the casks.
North Star Spirits have teamed up with them to produce a spectacular example of what M&H do best. We have tried a large part of their range (coming soon) where some are even aged by the dead sea. This is a single cask bottled at a not for the faint hearted 64.2% ABV. Some of their casks even go to 67%.
Milk & Honey is one of the leading Israeli whisky distilleries, but is still relatively hard to get hold of in the UK. This North Star bottling is from a single refill hogshead cask from the 2019 vintage that yielded 198 bottles at its brutal natural cask strength of 64.2%, so you might need a drop of water to get the best out of it.
Official Tasting Notes
Nose : Ripe fruits (Banana, Papaya). Melting butter on malt loaf.
Palate : Big wave of ripe fruit and sweet oak. Very warming.
Finish : Oaky, buttery & fruity. How a bath bomb should be.
About Milk & Honey
Israel’s first whisky distillery – M&H.
From the beginning, the M&H Distillery was founded with a commitment to the highest international standards of quality, and respect for the centuries-old traditions of whisky making. For that reason, the world-renowned Dr. Jim Swan, a leading expert in hot-climate maturation and new world whisky, was brought on- board as our main consultant and first master distiller.
We pursue perfection in every aspect, from our custom-made traditional copper pot stills to quality control throughout the process. And of course, we built an outstanding team of enthusiastic people who make everything possible.
Today the award-winning M&H whiskies are available in over 40 countries worldwide, telling our bold story with unrelenting innovation in every bottle.
About North Star Spirits
Astronomy plays a massive part in the storytelling narrative of our core whisky range. Our vision is reflected in our company name. The North Star is the anchor of the northern sky. It is a landmark, or sky marker, that helps those who follow it determine direction as it glows brightly to guide and lead toward a purposeful destination. It also has a symbolic meaning, for the North Star depicts a beacon of inspiration and hope to many. North Star focuses its energies on the curiosities, peculiar oddities, and obscurities - whisky as it comes, straight from the cask and into a bottle - without any fancy tricks.
