Milk & Honey (M&H) Art & Craft Doppelbock Beer Casks

The M&H Art & Craft series provides a rare opportunity to discover some of the distillery’s most intriguing, treasured casks.
Every year, a collection of unique casks of exceptional quality is hand-selected by our Head Distiller, Tomer Goren, to be bottled as a highly limited edition as part of the M&H Art & Craft series.

Each bottle carries a special label designed to capture the very essence of the Israeli art scene.

Bottled at 58.3% abv, this Single Malt whisky has been fully matured in ex-beer casks from the highly-acclaimed Ha’Aretz Brewery, a prominent Israeli craft brewery located on the edge of the Negev desert.

These casks, originally ex-Bourbon casks granted to Ha’Aretz by M&H, were in-turn used for the maturation of a special DoppelBock (double-bock) beer, characterized by a sweet aroma and a palate rich in chocolate and toasted malt notes. After 4-6 months, the beer was extracted and the casks returned to M&H, re-filled and matured to perfection for 3 years. One of the casks in the edition spent a full year of its maturation in the M&H Dead Sea Project, enhancing its flavor to the maximum.
