"As Israel’s pioneer whisky distillery based in Tel Aviv, this producer worked with warm-climate distilling experts to shorten maturation time and experiment with local casks; its Apex series includes a unique expression finished in pomegranate wine casks. That bottle is notable for being the first single malt aged in such a cask, yielding vibrant juicy pomegranate character alongside dried fig, butterscotch, and other red fruit notes." - Devorah Lev-Tov
