This bottling of a Glen Els is a Rare and Special Cask Strength Release from 2014. The whisky is slightly peated (woodsmoked) and was bottled at cask strength.
Glen Els (from September 2019 distributed under the name Elsburn) is the best-known Harz single malt whisky, 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.
