To celebrate the holiday and ring in the new year we broke open our bottle of #FirstRelease #SingleBarrel #SingleMalt #Whiskey from Barakat Distillery in #Taybeh #Palestine. I bought this during a solidarity delegation in December 2025 when we were visiting TayBeh, a Christian village where settler attacks were on the rise. This the same city that produces Taybeh Beer and has the church with the longest continuous worshipping congregation in the world. The day we were there happened on the release day of their first batch of their whiskey so, since part of the purpose of our delegation is to engage in a little #resistancetourism and support the local economy, many in our group did just that. We even had the makers sign a few bottles to commemorate the day. The whiskey is top shelf and smooth and they also make multiple gins and a chocolate coffee liquor. if you ever find yourself in Taybeh, be sure to add the distillery to your itinerary. #travel #tourism The s one of a Palestinian come home and invest in a place where others probably would not. We were more than happy to support them and can't wait for the day when they will be able to distribute freely and out from under the restrictions and complications of occupation. If you ever find yourself in Taybeh, definitely at the distillery to your itinerary, do a tasting, and meet the makers. #palestine #travel #tourism #whiskey #resistancetourism
