This bottling of an 8-year-old Elsburn as an original distillery bottling was produced in collaboration with Pat Hock as Friendship Edition No.3 Twin Peaks. The whisky was distilled in 2014, matured in two first-fill ex-Banyuls hogsheads and was bottled at cask strength in 2023 with only 525 bottles.
Elsburn (until September 2019 distributed under the name The Glen Els) is the best-known single malt whisky from the Harz region, produced by Hercynian Distilling Co. / Hammerschmiede, a manufactory for spirits and distillery for whisky in the Harz region of Lower Saxony. The name, like the Elsburn brand, is derived from the geographical location of the spirits manufactory on the Elsbach, in Zorge.
As of 2017, there are already more than 150 distilleries in Germany producing German whisky. Most distilleries produce clear brandies and use whisky production as a niche and side business. Whisky output is at a very low level of sometimes only a few thousand bottles a year depending on the distillery.
