My second Milk & Honey expression, the Israeli distillery, was actually their first, called "The Classic". Bottled at 46%abv, matured in bourbon barrels, virgin oak, and some red wine casks. This is the really flagship of their core range. On the nose, it is an ode to their name: Honey. Thick burnt caramel beautiful. After having a couple expressions, i can safely say that their really trademark note is Yeast. The yeasty profiles of this whisky is really something else. Stewed apples. The palate is way too simple. A nice pepper spice and lots of honey. Nothing more, easy drinkable. Aftertaste is much more floral. Herbal, like sparragus. Nice puffs of aromatic smoke. Overall, this is a normal dram. For their first expression, i have to say that they have something good here; a nice spirit is flowing through their stills, but it still needs time in barrels to fully develop some complexity that will launch this single malt into other levels. My score for this new dram is 73 over 100.
