Overview

Single Malt Whisky · 48%  ·  700ml

This unique whisky comes only from a single cask that was previously used to mature Bittuni wine.

Bittuni wine comes with an extraordinary story of its own - this red grape is native to Israel's Judean Hills, where it was used to make wine prior to wineries' forced closures during the Ottoman Empire. Long thought extinct, it was recently rediscovered by Israeli farmers and re-engineered as a vine to produce light-bodied, highly aromatic red wines with low tannins, red-fruit notes, and refreshing acidity. It is often compared to Pinot Noir or Gamay.

Once the wines were bottled, this extraordinary cask found its way to the award-winning M & H Distillery in Jaffa, who filled it with their spirit on 22/5/2019 for 7 years. The cask was decanted on 29/7/25, filling only 150 bottles of this stunning and unique single-cask, single-malt expression.

Distillery Information

M&H Distillery, founded in 2013 (with production commencing in 2014–2015), is Israel's first and largest single malt whisky distillery, based in Tel Aviv near the border with Jaffa. Its name nods to the biblical "land of milk and honey," and its whiskies are notably all Kosher. What sets M&H apart is Israel's hot Mediterranean climate, which accelerates cask maturation compared to traditional whisky-producing regions like Scotland, a distinctive angle the distillery leans into by ageing casks in varied microclimates, including those near the Dead Sea. Its Elements Sherry Cask expression won World's Best Single Malt Whisky in 2023, and the brand's whiskies and gins are now sold in over 40 countries worldwide, cementing its reputation as one of the most exciting names in "new world" whisky
