M&H (Milk and Honey) is Israel’s first whisky distillery. Founded in 2013, M&H has a commitment to the highest international standards of quality and respect for the centuries-old traditions of whisky making. The distillery was established under the guidance of the late Dr. Jim Swan who helped with the distillery floor plan, selecting the best available ingredients and designing the stills. He oversaw the first experimentations operating the stills and collaborated with Tomer Goren, M&H Distillery’s head distiller, in creating Israel’s first Single Malt Whisky.
The distillery had custom-made the Spanish Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks used in this bottling. These casks, filled with quality sherry and seasoned for one year in Spain, were then transported to the Milk & Honey distillery. Here, they matured the new-make spirit, subsequently resulting in the creation of a wonderfully complex whisky.
Official Tasting Notes
Aroma - The experience begins with dominant rich red fruit notes. Delicately covered by gentle oak, complemented by a caramel scent, and enhanced by a refreshing hint of lemon freshness.
Palate - Transitioning to the palate, this medium-bodied whisky unfolds with a light fruity sherry sweetness. Rich fruits and dark chocolate follow suit, accompanied by gentle oaky notes that further contribute to the overall tasting experience.
Finish - Long - the dark chocolate notes linger in the palate for a while, followed by tobacco and oak notes.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
