M&H Elements Sherry Cask Single Malt Israeli Whisky (700ml, 46% ABV)
$139.00
Awarded “World’s Best Single Malt” at the 2023 World Whiskies Awards. M&H travelled all the way to Spain, and had Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry made especially for them. The casks, once filled with quality sherry and seasoned for one year in Spain, were brought to the distillery to mature their New-Make spirit for a wonderful complex whisky.
Sherry casks are always a crowd favorite when it comes to whisky, however when M&H Distillery's Elements Sherry Cask won the 2023 award for the best single malt whisky on Earth, they knew that it was a true crowd pleaser.
The Elements Sherry Cask is the world’s first whisky matured in Kosher sherry casks. M&H (also known as "Milk & Honey") had both Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez specially made to season the casks that end up maturing this whisky under the Tel Aviv sun. Their distillery team were careful to not let the sherry dominate the drinking experience, instead cultivating a complex medley of flavor in what is fast becoming a modern classic.
