First 100
bottles of Milk & Honey Israeli whisky
to be sold via online auction.
A little later
than I told you it would be happening,
Israel's first-ever whisky, Milk &
Honey, the first whisky distillery in
Israel have announced the date when they
will auction off 100 of the first
bottles, produced by head distiller
Tomer Goren, together with master
distiller, the late Dr. Jim Swan, on the
Scottish whisky auction site Whisky
Auctioneer.
The Milk & Honey distillery will auction
off the first 100 bottles of single malt
whisky as part of a global online
auction that will begin on August 11,
2017 and run for a period of ten days.
At the auction, the first bottles will
be sold as a special edition (1-100) of
the "experimental series" of the
first-ever single malt whisky produced
in Israel.
Israel's first single malt whisky by The
Milk & Honey Distillery is the first
whisky to be produced and bottled in
Israel after being aged for three years
in barrels.
Distilled on the 14th Jan 2014
the liquid was aged for 31 months in a
225 litre virgin American oak cask and
then for another seven months in an
ex-bourbon cask matured at the
distillery's cask room in Tel Aviv. It
was bottled at 46% ABV on 2nd April
2017, it has no added colouring and is
non chill-filtered.
They say the first whisky to be produced
in Israel is characterised by hints of
malted barley, with soft notes of orange
along with a delicate woodsy taste,
cinnamon, lemon and marzipan.
The public auction will be conducted
over the well-known Scottish auction
website whiskyauctioneer.com. Each
bottle of whisky comes in a special box,
is hand numbered and includes a personal
parchment scroll. The remaining bottles
of the single malt are currently offered
for sale at select stores throughout
Israel, distributed by Hacarem, with a
very limited inventory.
