Exclusively for our customers, the Harz distillers have bottled a Single Malt of the ElsBurn brand for the second time, which matured in an Italian cask combination of First Fill Amarone and Marsala Casks. The heavy, full-bodied red wine from the Valpolicella region in Veneto and the sweet Sicilian dessert wine are responsible not only for the inviting dark colour of the ElsBurn Italian Connection. The Single Malt is bursting with dark fruits such as cherry, blackcurrant, and plum. In addition to intense fruit notes, the whisky pampers the palate with coffee, nutty hints, and a touch of spice.
