With Daniel Zahavi-Asa of “Jews Drinking Scotch” and Rabbi Menahem Fogel.
There are kosher whisky tours and there’s the Connoisseur Kosher Whisky Tour. Our Connoisseur Kosher Whisky Tour is a truly unforgettable experience, blending incredible scenery with fine hotels and visits to at least SEVEN of the finest single malt Scotch Whisky distilleries to be found anywhere in the world. This is a specialist’s tour. It’s for those who approach each glass of whisky with reverence, bordering on the religious.
For those who wish to gain understanding about the nuances of this golden liquid, while enjoying first class kosher cuisine without compromise. Led by a duo: one a whisky expert and the other an expert whisky heathen, this fun tour will also take in numerous natural and city highlights of the Land of the Gaels.
Your Tour Leaders:
Daniel Zahavi-Asa has two loves. One of them is whisky. Daniel has been a whisky fan for many years and he recently made the trek to the motherland (Scotland) to check it out for himself. He has now decided to share his experience with the rest of the world. His love for whisky developed into maven status, and the opening of his website jewsdrinkingscotch.com. Daniel works in IT taking care of various computer and network issues for his various small office clients in the Jerusalem area. He currently lives in Efrat, Israel with his wife, 3 kids and an extensive collection of single-malt whisky.
Rabbi Menahem Fogel is an explorer at heart. Changing careers after the age of fifty, he became an international tour guide specializing in Far East countries. A traveler through many foreign cultures, his specialization in Japan carried him to the whiskeys of that country. While Rabbi M considers himself a whisky heathen because he prefers the blended kinds over the single malts, a friendship based upon contrasting views of whisky with Daniel Zahavi-Asa brought him to co-lead this tour. Rabbi Fogel and his wife also live in Efrat, and they have three children and six grandchildren.
