“Understanding the impact of the desert climate on the cask was a fascinating experiment and study project,” said head distiller Tomer Goren. “I look forward to continuing our geographical experiments, with the Sea of Galilee and the Jerusalem Mountains coming up next.”
M&H, which stands for Milk & Honey, was founded in 2012 by Israeli technology entrepreneur Gal Kalkstein and claims to be the country’s first whiskey distillery.
