One Cask, Full Strength, Tel Aviv Sun

The ImpEx Collection bottles single casks from distilleries most American drinkers have never heard of — and Cask #2018-1069 is a showcase of what hot-climate whisky can do: three years under the Tel Aviv sun, a Muscat cask finish, and no dilution before bottling. Whiskybase reviewers score the M&H 2018 releases in the mid-80s, noting herbaceous spice, raisins, dark chocolate, dried fruits, and ginger in furniture varnish on the nose, with an oily, velvety palate turning fiery — chocolate, dried fruits with ginger and yeast, berry compote, and tannins — before a long, sweetish finish of red berries and tropical fruit. A cask-strength single cask for the adventurous. Shop more ImpEx Collection bottlings and explore international whisky at Del Mesa.

Tasting Notes

The nose is herbaceous and spiced: raisins, dark chocolate, dried fruits, ginger, and red currants in furniture varnish. The palate is oily and velvety, then fiery — chocolate, dried fruits with ginger and yeast, sweet berry compote, and tannins. The finish is long and sweetish, with red berries, a hint of tropical fruit, and warming spice.

How to Enjoy

Neat first at cask strength to meet the full 113 proof, then add water to taste — several reviewers prefer it without water, but a few drops tame the heat and open the fruit. A fireside pour for the cask-strength faithful.
