Two distilleries claim to have the highest altitude whisky. Orma Whisky is distilled at the highest altitude on a mountain top in the Swiss alps and Breckenridge Whisky in the USA has matured its whiskies at the highest altitude warehouses in the Rockies. In terms of whisky matured at the lowest altitude there is only one contender and it is this whisky - Milk and Honey is distilled at sea level in Tel Aviv but this particular cask was matured at the lowest point on the planet - the Dead Sea - 427metres below sea level. The temperature can also reach 50°C so this is extreme maturation. A curiosity for sure...but how does it taste?
Nose: Vanilla, Citrus, Chocolate, Oak
Taste: Wonderful Complex Flavor Explosion
Finish: Long Citrus, Salt, Warmth
I think the large Angel Share has something to do with it

In my YouTube Review this scored 5 out of 5 for Quality
The pinnacle of the Glendronach core range, the 21 Year Parliament, is a truly amazing dram. My review here: https://engineered.network/whisky/episode-22-glendronach-21-year/
Thank you Horny Pony for helping me try before I buy! (I since bought a bottle of this)
Some lovely ocean spray and subtle smoke on the nose. More of the ocean than the fire on the nose at least. Sweet upfront and then a little prickly, but beautifully done. Apricot jam which reveals freshly cracked black pepper, that smoothens into cured meats and honey. This dram gives a charcuterie board alongside a cigar. A taster is well worthwhile as this has certainly moved me towards buying a bottle.
I've actually been wanting to taste this so I can make up my mind to buy a bottle. When I found your site and saw it had this I immediately bought some tasting samples and absolutely loved it! Will definitely invest in a bottle
