This single cask bottling of a 5-year-old Elsburn as an original distillery bottling was produced in the Exceptional Collection series especially for the Whisky Elves. The whisky was distilled in 2014, matured in an ex-sherry octave and was bottled at cask strength in 75 bottles in 2020.
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.
