Milk & Honey Elements Series - Red Wine Cask Whisky 70cl

My personal favorite in their Elements series. Brings out something indeed quite unique, yet not at all quirky nor overdoing it.
My personal tasting notes vary a bit from the ones provided here by masterofmalt (which usually tend to match my own tasting notes with frightening accuracy).
Nose: Cherries, almonds, ocean breeze, oak, mild early spring blossom, a bit of citrus, ginger and brown sugar hiding in there. A very interesting and complex nose for a young bottle, due to the local climate of course.
Palate: honeysuckle, citrus peel, subtle almond notes, oceanside air again, astringency which makes one think of the dry red wine cask makes way to the finish.
Finish: Floral again, cinnamon, subtle honey notes and very delicate notes of salt. Almonds develop here too and linger for quite a long finish in a clean palate.

Overall: This one falls into the category of whiskies with oceanic notes, which I've grown increasingly fond of since my trip to Scotland five years ago. It can definitely blend in and belong with significantly more expensive bottles in blind tasting sessions. I absolutely love that ocean and almond aroma. One can clearly notice the red wine cask, but not in any way that would overburden this as whisky of course. It's a type of cask finish that I'd love to see becoming more prevalent. The astringency and general profile also makes sense when you're acquainted with red Israeli wines.
Great whisky.

so i got this whisky straight from the store in Tel Aviv,
as an israeli i was really surprised to hear about an israeli whisky,
cant say im disappointed! really good whisky for its price range,
very strong smell, with a very mellow taste that doesnt burn your throat,
i recommend letting the whisky breath a little after you pour it, at least 2-3 minutes, then you can really enjoy it
