Golani

Israel

Golani is one of the notable names emerging from Israel's Golan Heights, representing the country's growing presence in the world of whisky. Produced under the umbrella of Golan Heights Winery, this malt whisky draws its identity from the unique terroir of a high-altitude volcanic plateau. Israel may be considered a young player in the whisky world, yet expressions like Golani demonstrate a genuine commitment to the craft. Taking inspiration from Scotch traditions while adapting to the warm, dry climate of the Middle East, Golani undergoes a maturation process that differs significantly from its European counterparts. The intense seasonal temperature swings accelerate the interaction between spirit and wood, often resulting in a richer, more fruit-forward profile. Expect notes of honey, dried fruit, subtle spice, and gentle oak on the palate. Golani is one of the pioneering labels helping to put Israeli whisky on the global map, attracting the curiosity of enthusiasts who seek expressions beyond the traditional whisky-producing nations.
