Elsburn The Journey 12 y.o.

Special features: The 12-year-old bottling of Elsburn The Journey is the first variant with an age statement, setting a new standard for the series. The whisky matured exclusively in First Fill Wine Casks, including sherry, port, marsala, and Málaga casks, giving it an extraordinary depth and complexity. At 46% vol., the single malt presents itself at a robust drinking strength that particularly highlights the character from the highest mountains of Northern Germany. The limited edition comprises 1000 bottles and is delivered in an elegant wooden box.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Rich aromas of dark berries, chocolate, and spices, underlined by sweet notes from the wine and sherry casks.
• Palate: Full-bodied with notes of dried fruits, nuts, and a fine spiciness reminiscent of marsala and port wine.
• Finish: Long-lasting, warm, and complex with a hint of dark chocolate and a subtle oak finish.

Distillery/Bottler: The Hercynian Distilling Co. with its Hammer Forge Distillery in the Harz is known for its meticulous craftsmanship and the production of characterful single malts. The region shapes the whisky with its rugged nature and cool mountain winds, which significantly contribute to the maturation. Elsburn stands for authentic, handcrafted whiskies from Germany that are increasingly gaining international recognition.
