Milk & Honey 2017 Ex-Islay Cask
This single malt was distilled just south of Tel Aviv and matured in a single Islay whisky cask. We can’t tell you exactly which distillery the cask stopped off at on its way to Israel, but it’s on Islay’s south coast… What its mystery trip has produced is a bold and grassy dram with bags of white fruit, tarry smoke and a little barnyard funkiness on the nose. Only 231 bottles exist, so don’t let yours get away.

Once-in-a-lifetime tastings
Tickets are on sale now for October’s Whisky Show masterclasses. Highlights include a tasting with Buffalo Trace master blender Drew Mayville and a deep dive into the Diageo warehouses with blenders Maureen Robinson and Emma Walker. The former offers a chance to try American whiskies rarely seen in the UK, including the Double Eagle Very Rare, while the latter features a special bottling of 40-year-old Port Ellen. Spaces are limited, so don’t delay.
