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.

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.

Official Tasting Notes

Palate: Big wave of ripe fruit and sweet oak. Very warming.

Finish: Oaky, buttery & fruity. How a bath bomb should be.
