FLAVOUR DEEPDIVE
Rich, viscous and unapologetically fruity. This whisky takes the familiar depth of a sherry-matured dram and dials it all the way up, swapping dried fruit heaviness for a brighter, more vibrant pomegranate-led intensity. Expect waves of dark fruit, dessert-like sweetness and a thick, unctuous mouthfeel that coats the palate from start to finish.
WHO IS THIS WHISKY FOR?
Best suited to devoted sherry cask lovers who want something bolder and less predictable, this whisky will also appeal to drinkers drawn to rich, dessert-style drams. If you enjoy high-impact flavour, a full, unctuous texture and an indulgent after-dinner pour, this one’s firmly in your wheelhouse.
MUSIC TO SIP TO
Enjoying a dram by yourself whilst relaxing after a long day? Sharing the bottle with a few friends? Whatever the occasion, stick THIS playlist one to make that dram taste that little bit better.

WHY WE CHOSE THIS CASK
Israel’s first whisky distillery, M&H encapsulates the flavours and terroirs of its homeland within a bottle, and this whisky does just that. Not only is it fully matured in a pomegranate wine cask, but it’s also spent some of its time maturing in their warehouse by the Dead Sea —the lowest point on earth. A single sip of this whisky instantly transports us back to the Tel Aviv sunshine and its laid-back vibe.
OUR HALF + HEART RECOMMENDATION
All juicy, autumnal fruits and bright pomegranate, this whisky calls for a beer that complements its vibrant, spiced profile. Think ales, stouts and malt-forward numbers.
Newbarns Brewery in Leith, Edinburgh, make an in-cred-i-ble Stout that goes SO well with this whisky. And for a high/low combo, try out Below Brew Co’s NEIPA The Cosmic Turtle - a New England IPA.
