- Western Australia's Single Malt Whisky
"Western Australia's First Single Malt Whisky"
Limeburners Single Malt Whisky is named after a local area close to the Distillery. Limeburners Creek was named after the Lime burning process that was once performed in this area by convicts.
Releasing Western Australia's only single Malt Whisky the Great Southern Distilling Company focus is quality not quantity. We only produce a limited amount of Malt Whisky, using time honoured techniques and the finest local ingredients.
Our spirit is born from a pristine environment, in a beautiful corner of the world, Albany.
- Western Australia's Great Southern Region-
We chose Albany as there is an abundance of Barley, Peat and pristine clean Water. Just as importantly, the cool marine environment is ideal for maturing whisky slowly and quietly.
We release only individual barrel expressions of Single Malt Whisky.
Each expression is different.

Limeburners Single Malt Whisky - Western Australian History
We are the only Malt Whisky Distillery in Western Australia. In April 2008 we released the first (legal) Single Malt Whisky in Western Australia's history.
Our first release
was from "Barrel M2
" - the second barrel of Whisky we ever filled. This Whisky displays fantastic complex characteristics and was awarded a Bronze Medal
at the 2008 International Wine and Spirits Show in London
. For our first release Whisky this is an outstanding result.
There were only 338 hand numbered bottles in our first release, and we sold out
in less than 5 weeks. (We do have 20 bottles stored safely away in our "Whisky library", but none of these are intended for retail sale.) Our first release went to Australia, the US and Europe, and final prices were up to AUD$500 a bottle - which reflects the scarce nature of this truely Premium Single Malt Whisky.
We only release Single Malt Whiskies from carefully chosen individual barrels. This makes each of our Whiskies unique and available in strictly limited quantities. Our second release - Barrel M5 has also sold out.
We will Shortly include details of How our Whisky is made.
 Albany - Distillery
Margaret River Distillery
 The Equipment
By world standards we are a tiny operation... which is the way we like it.
Our 2 Whisky Stills, an 1,800 litre Wash Still and a 580 litre Whisky Spirit Still, are in operation in our Albany distillery. Our Whisky Stills are traditional Whisky Copper Pot Stills and were custom made in Hobart, Tasmania, by Australian Still makers Knapp Lewer. We selected the parameters for these Stills to achieve a particular Spirit profile. This decison was made after lengthy research on Stills used by the distilleries producing our favourite Scottish Single Malts.
