From the land of malt and honey: Israeli whisky ranked best in the world

“We are truly delighted to receive this accolade, and this recognition is a real testament to our ongoing hard work,” said Gal Kalkshtein, M&H founder and CEO.

“We pride ourselves in creating whiskies to the highest possible standard, using a creative mindset to challenge traditional industry methods and leveraging on Israel’s five unique distinct climate zones.

“For us, this is just the beginning.”

A panel of judges selected winners for each category following blind tastings of some 6,000 different types of whiskies from around the world.

M&H spirits, all of which are kosher, are sold in 40 countries.
