History
The plans for the distillery began in 2012, after a group of entrepreneurs: Gal Kalkshtein, the owner of the distillery, along with Amit Dror, Simon Fried and Roee and Naama Licht decided to establish the first whisky distillery in Israel.
Since its establishment, the distillery’s operations were accompanied by Dr. James Swan, world-renowned whisky expert, until he passed away in February 2017.
Since the distillery’s founding, the Head Distiller has been Tomer Goren.
The distillery’s first products reached the shelves during the first quarter of 2016. In May 2017, the distillery unveiled Israel’s first ever single-malt whisky, made by its Head Distiller, Tomer Goren. Their whiskey, aged for more than 3 years, has been noted to be well-matured due to Israel’s warm climate affecting and accelerating the aging process.
