Discovering Milk & Honey: Israel’s First Commercial Distillery

Israel may not be the first country that comes to mind when you think of whiskey production, but that is rapidly changing with the emergence of Milk & Honey, Israel’s first commercial distillery. Located in the vibrant neighborhood of Jaffa in South Tel Aviv, this distillery is making waves in the world of spirits with its commitment to quality and innovation.

Founded by a group of whisky-loving entrepreneurs, Milk & Honey is dedicated to creating a legacy in the world of whiskey. With the construction of the distillery starting in 2014 and distillation beginning in 2015, the team behind Milk & Honey has been hard at work crafting the perfect Israeli Single Malt Whisky. While their first batch is still aging in barrels, the distillery has already gained a reputation for its dedication to quality and excellence.

One of the key focuses of Milk & Honey is on producing a world-class product. The distillery has invested in top-of-the-line equipment, including custom-built pot stills and vintage stills made according to Scottish tradition. They also work with Dr. James Swan, a renowned master distiller, to ensure that their whiskies meet the highest standards of quality and taste.

Currently, Milk & Honey offers a range of spirits, including an unaged single malt called New Make, a young single malt, and their first experimental whiskey. The Experimental Whiskey, a limited edition release, sold out almost immediately, showcasing the demand for innovative and unique spirits from the distillery.

In addition to their whiskey offerings, Milk & Honey also produces aged and unaged gin, as well as a herbal liqueur. Visitors to the distillery can book private or group tours to sample the spirits and learn more about the distillation process.
