🥃 WHISKY TASTING — A JOURNEY THROUGH TERROIR, CASKS & CHARACTER
🥃 Whisky Tasting — Terroir, Casks & Character
With Brian Scardino
Thursday, November 5, 2026
6:30–8:30 PM
Norfolk Wine & Spirits
206 Dedham Street, Norfolk, MA
Join us for an exciting evening of whisky exploration with
Brian Scardino, featuring an eclectic lineup of
single malts from Israel and Scotland.
The centerpiece of the evening will be
M&H’s Apex Terroir Series, offering a fascinating
opportunity to explore how geography, climate, maturation
conditions, and cask selection influence whisky.
Terroir can be a polarizing term in whisky.
Call it provenance if you prefer!
Either way, tasting four distinct Israeli regions side by side
should make for some interesting discussion.
We’ll also explore distinctive cask maturation from
Ardnamurchan, Isle of Raasay, and GlenAllachie.
