Heimathafen Elmshorn Akvavit is a sherry-cask-finished akvavit from Schleswig-Holstein. The label states:

“Im Sherryfass gelagerter Akvavit. Hergestellt für Leuchtturm Zeitungsverlag e.K., Schulstr. 41, 25358 Horst.”

This indicates that the akvavit is produced for Leuchtturm Zeitungsverlag e.K., rather than by the publishing house itself. The actual distiller is not named, but several indicators suggest that it is Elbschluck Liköre und Spirituosen (Horst):

• both companies are located in the same small town, 25358 Horst;
• Elbschluck produces its own range of aquavits and liqueurs;
• on the publisher’s social media pages, products from Elbschluck appear regularly, suggesting ongoing cooperation.

Based on this, Heimathafen Elmshorn Akvavit is likely manufactured by Elbschluck on a contract basis. The documented characteristics are limited to the sherry-cask maturation and the recommendation to enjoy it at room temperature.
