Elsburn Distillery Edition Batch 004 (2023) Sherry Casks 45.9% vol. 0.7 L

Die Hammerschmiede, known for its Elsburn Whisky, proudly presents the 2023 Distillery Edition Batch 004, an exclusive bottling characterized by its maturation in selected sherry casks. This distillery, located in the picturesque landscape of the Harz region, combines traditional distillation methods with innovative approaches to create whiskies of exceptional character.

Batch 004 is the result of meticulous craftsmanship and the careful selection of casks that previously held noble sherry wines. These casks, made from European and American oak, lend the whisky not only depth and complexity, but also a characteristic sweetness and spice.

Storage in these sherry casks allows for a subtle marriage of robust oak aromas with the rich, fruity notes of sherry, making this whisky a true rarity.

Tasting Notes:

Aroma: The nose is caressed by a bouquet of rich fruit notes, including dark berries and dried figs, which marry with a hint of orange zest and sweet toffee. The aroma is deep and inviting, with an underlying hint of nuttiness and spicy oak notes.

Taste: On the palate, Batch 004 shows its full splendor. It offers an exquisite balance between the sweetness of raisins and the intense spice of nutmeg and cinnamon. The velvety texture carries nuances of dark chocolate and a hint of espresso, promising a rich and full-bodied taste experience.

Finish: Long-lasting and rich, with a pleasant dryness derived from the sherry casks. The aftertaste leaves traces of dark marmalade and a lingering clove aroma.
