The Milk & Honey Distillery
The Milk & Honey Distillery is an Israeli distillery located in Tel Aviv, known for producing high-quality whisky and other spirits. Established in 2012, it is recognized as the first whisky distillery in Israel.
History[edit | edit source]
The Milk & Honey Distillery was founded by a group of entrepreneurs and whisky enthusiasts. The distillery's name is inspired by the biblical description of Israel as a "land flowing with milk and honey." The founders aimed to create a unique Israeli whisky that would reflect the local climate and terroir.
Production[edit | edit source]
The distillery uses traditional methods of whisky production, including malting, mashing, fermentation, distillation, and aging. The hot and humid climate of Tel Aviv accelerates the aging process, giving the whisky a distinct character. The distillery sources its barley from various regions, including Europe and Israel, and uses water from the Sea of Galilee.
