Milk and Honey Distillery Elements Peated Single Malt Whisky

Price Statistics

Description

From Tel Aviv’s Milk & Honey Distillery, Elements Peated is crafted by blending two streams of whisky: one matured in ex-Islay peated whisky casks (capturing residual phenols from previous Islay-malt ageing) and the other matured in ex-bourbon barrels for balance. The mash is 100% malted barley, the spirit is double-distilled in copper pot stills, and the warm Mediterranean climate accelerates maturation in a distinctive way. The final bottling is non-chill-filtered and bottled at 46% ABV. Critics Reviews Tasting notes highlight a “fresh smoky, earthy scent opening to vanilla & oak, with a hint of lemon zest.” On the palate reviewers mention “vanilla sweetness followed by a delicate peat touch, light spiciness of ginger and lemon flavours.” Finish is described as “coating peat on the mouth with oak and lemon lingering on the tongue.”Some critics observe that although labeled “Peated,” the smoke is very restrained—more of a whisper of peat than a roar. Tasting Profile Nose: Soft yet fresh smoke mingling with vanilla bean, gently toasted oak, and a touch of citrus peel (lemon). Palate: Medium-bodied; opens with malty sweetness and vanilla, then the light peat starts to rise alongside ginger spice and lemon rind. Finish: Moderately long; the peat lingers softly, joined by oak warmth and citrus brightness before gently retreating.
