DESCRIPTION

The ElsBurn The Journey 12 y.o. marks a proud beginning for the Hercynian Distilling Co., as the distillery in the Harz region presents its flagship whisky with an age statement for the first time. Whisky enthusiasts know the Harz Single Malt The Journey as an annually reissued edition. Now, the distillery expands its range with a standard whisky that reflects the quality and tradition of the Harz in every bottle.

Distilled from barley and chocolate malt and matured for over 12 years, this special single malt is aged exclusively in first-fill casks that were previously seasoned with sherry, port, marsala, and Málaga wines. This exceptional cask management gives the whisky its dark color, rich aromas, and extraordinary complexity, making it darker, fuller, and many times more intense.

Bottled in 2024 at an ideal drinking strength of 46% vol.—instead of the usual 43% vol. for the vintage editions—Batch 1 unfolds an intense tasting experience. Limited to a total of 1,000 bottles and available in a 0.7-liter bottle size, this whisky is a true highlight for collectors and connoisseurs.

The ElsBurn The Journey 12 y.o. is non-colored and non-chill-filtered, preserving its natural aromas and full-bodied texture. Its origin from the highest mountain range in northern Germany, the Harz, underscores its uniqueness and authenticity.

With notes of dark fruits, chocolate, and spices, this single malt whisky impresses across the board. The combination of barley and chocolate malt, along with maturation in selected first-fill casks, gives it an unparalleled profile.

Known for its dedication to quality and craftsmanship, this distillery, under the guidance of Alexander Buchholz, produces the unique whisky Elsburn, which has quickly made a name for itself in the world of fine spirits.
Elsburn, named after the Elsbach, a small river flowing near the distillery, represents the connection between traditional whisky making and local peculiarities. The use of pure Harz spring water and carefully selected ingredients gives each drop of Elsburn whisky a distinctive character.
The whisky bottlings of Elsburn are diverse and reflect the distillery's willingness to experiment. Elsburn Single Malt Whisky, known for its complexity and depth, is characterized by notes of malt, fruit, and spices. Particularly popular are the Elsburn Sherry Cask, which matures in former sherry casks and develops deep, fruity aromas, and the Elsburn Peated, a peaty whisky that delights lovers of smoky flavors.
In addition to these standard bottlings, Hammerschmiede also experiments with limited editions and special releases, demonstrating the range and craftsmanship of the distillery. Each bottling of Elsburn is a testament to the passion and commitment of the team to create high-quality whiskies that capture the spirit of the Harz region.
