M&H Whisky in Bloom Young Single Malt Double Cask

Tasted with David on 8/8/2020 Israel Single Malt A little peat. Vanilla. Corn? It's got peat which I think is actually an odd choice. I don't know why, if you're the first single malt distiller in Tel Aviv, you try to achieve a taste of Islay? This is a solid whisky but there's not much here I felt I needed to report. It's smooth and sweet and tastes like a young whisky. I like it. Would be happy to try their finished product.

Shows a lot of promise but not there yet. No obvious flaws in the distillate but needs more time for maturation to work its magic. I'm excited to see how this story unfolds in the coming years. Highly likely to be a stunning whisky given a little more time.

M&H has chosen to hold itself to Scottish standards and mature its spirit for three years before labelling it whisky, despite the accelerated maturation provided by the Israeli climate. For the US, however, they agreed with their importer to release a less mature “young single malt” called “Whisky in Bloom” and we can be grateful that they did. A nose of buttered toast paves the way to a delicious crisp malt with lovely barrel spice on the finish. Better than many a more mature single malt
