ABOUT THIS WINE CASK SERIES BOTTLING
Our second batch from this German distillery. Our first featured in our World Series release.
This 3 Year Old has been matured in an ex-Marsala Wine cask. Bottled at 48.8% abv
Marsala is a fortified dessert wine from Italy, and this is a great example of using this type of cask to mature whisky, imparting oodles of deep, fruity and nutty aromas.
Elsburn whisky is so popular in Germany (people queue down the street for special releases) that it's rarely seen internationally.
Nose
Rich dark chocolate, black cherries, sweet pipe tobacco and walnut oil. There's a hint of smoky charred wood too.
Palate
Beautifully balanced. Rich and mouth-filling with more black cherry, juicy dates, and dark bitter chocolate.
About the Label
Anna and Martina feature living above the distillery, as they did in the old days.
The town of Zorge, where the distillery lies, has an old legend of a wingless dragon called the Hazelworm residing in the nearby mountains.
The distillery is subject to a rather ludicrous amount of German regulations. Their spirit safe is locked within another spirit safe. Every single possible opening is locked down with padlocks, hundreds of them in total!
