DS Tayman

A brief History

DS Tayman, England. Founded in 2020

Where Single Cask Scotch Meets Israeli Wine Craft

DS Tayman isn’t your average indie bottler. Founded in 2020 by whisky enthusiast Danny Saltman and finance expert Saul Taylor, this London-based outfit brings together two passions: exceptional Scotch and fine Israeli wine. The result? Single cask whiskies finished in kosher-certified Israeli wine barrels—something you don’t see every day.

Each bottle is a limited-edition release, non-chill filtered, with no added colour. It’s whisky in its purest form, but with a twist: the wine cask finish adds a layer of complexity that sets DS Tayman apart. Whether it’s a Speyside malt mellowed in Syrah or a Highland dram kissed by Bordeaux, these whiskies are crafted to intrigue and delight.
