That Boutiquey Whisky Co - Limeburners 5 YO Single Malt Batch 1 500ml

"The Limeburners Distillery is in the south-western corner of Western Australia, in the Margaret River region. The area is famous for wine production, and also hosts an annual event of the World Surf League. The site was chosen for its cool climate and access to high quality water.

Founded by lawyer Cameron Syme, the parent company Great Southern Distilling operate three distilleries in the region making gin, malt, grain and rye whisky, with Limeburners being the brand for the single malt whisky.

It’s another small distillery, with an annual capacity of just 120,000 litres of pure alcohol a year. All of the grain they use comes form Western Australia, and generally their spirit is matured in second fill American oak bourbon barrels, with some expressions finished in Australian fortified wine barrels. Interestingly they have a peated whisky that is made using locally sourced peat from the Valley of the Giants in nearby Walpole.

Our Limeburners is a 5 year old single malt, that’s been matured in an ex-Pedro Ximenez Apera cask

NOSE: Rich and Oily. With raisin, dark molasses, maraschino cherry syrup. Some savory notes too; ancho pepper and bitter dark chocolate, with just a hint of lavender.

PALATE: Rich and weighty, but beautifully balanced. Velvety dark chocolate, mole sauce, black cherry and tobacco notes. Those chocolate notes linger long into the lengthy finish." -That Boutique-y Whisky Company
