Milk & Honey launches cask purchasing programme
Israel’s Milk & Honey Distillery is giving whisky enthusiasts the chance to purchase their own casks of single malt.
Milk & Honey is selling full casks of its Israeli whisky
The limited edition 200-litre ex-Bourbon casks (46% abv) will be monitored by head distiller Tomer Goren. Cask owners can visit the distillery to check in on their barrel, and taste how it is developing.
After three years, owners can then decide, in collaboration with Goren, whether to bottle the cask or allow it to continue ageing.
Each cask will yield hundreds of 700ml bottles, which can be gifted or re-sold.
Payment for the cask is required in two instalments with the total cost amounting to 35,000 ILS (US$9,511), not including tax.
“Our early edition spirit is very special, not just because of its quality as a product, but for the place it will hold in the history of Israeli craft spirits,” said CEO Eitan Attir.
“We’re proud to offer people a piece of that tradition at a fair price, and happy to report that whisky lovers across the globe are responding with a lot of enthusiasm.”
The distillery auctioned the first 100 bottles of its inaugural single malt whisky online, which sold for as much as £2,500 (US$3,175) on Whisky Auctioneer.
