A subtly smoky single malt all the way from Tel Aviv, produced by the Milk & Honey Distillery. This expression was released as part of the Elements Series, which shows off the impact that cask choices can have on a whisky's flavour profile. For example, this one was aged in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-Islay whisky casks, the latter of which imparted that aforementioned subtle smokiness.
Lots of vanilla and honey, but a backbone of dry smoke smoulders away underneath.
Citrus notes arrive on the palate, with continued sweet vanilla notes and another waft of smoke.
Just a hint of toasty spices linger on the finish - black pepper, ginger, and cardamom.
