Limeburners Port Cask Australian Single Malt Whisky (700ml)

Volume: 700ml          ABV: 43%          Age: No Age Statement          Country: Australia

The Great Southern Distillery was first opened in 2004 by Cameron Syme, who spent time working for a multinational commercial law firm, at that time he had 10 years’ experience as an accountant in Australia and the United Kingdom and gained a UK Trades Board “General Certificate in Distilling”. Cameron’s research was very thorough taking him 14 years to collect enough resources and information to create something extra special.

His heritage was in fact from Scotland where his family history of distilling took place, so owning a distillery seemed like it was destiny. The distillery is very small by world standards but they like it this way as it helps to spend more time producing quality single malt whisky. Each batch of spirit is produced and bottled by hand which means that they only produce spirit of the highest standard.

The Great Southern Distilleries Standard Single Malts are 43% abv and have been brought down from barrel strength by filtered rain water.

Made and hand bottled at the Great Southern Distillery on the harbour’s edge in Albany, this complex and elegant single malt whisky is distilled in traditional small batch copper pot stills from local barley. This whisky is matured in second fill bourbon barrels and finished in a very old small Port casks. It’s a serious whisky connoisseurs delight, made to savour.
