Tucked away on Western Australia’s southern coast, Limeburners Port Cask is whisky with a maritime soul and a dessert lover’s heart. Matured near the edge of the Southern Ocean and finished in rich Australian port casks, this expression is both bold and velvety, proof that the New World can craft whisky with serious depth and distinction.

Limeburners Australian Single Malt – Port Cask Finish
Brand: Limeburners | Category: Australian Single Malt Whisky | ABV: 43% | Origin: Albany, Western Australia | Vol: 70cl

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Warm and inviting. Notes of dark berries, burnt sugar, and cinnamon swirl with redcurrant jam, soft oak, and coastal salinity.
Palate: Rich and layered. Ripe cherries, toffee, spiced plum, and chocolate, coated hazelnuts glide across the tongue, lifted by hints of citrus zest and gentle pepper.
Finish: Long and indulgent. Sweet red fruit, soft spice, and a touch of oak tannin taper into a clean, dry elegance with just a whisper of sea air.

Production Details:
Made from locally malted Australian barley, Limeburners Port Cask is first aged in ex bourbon barrels, then finished in Australian port casks (often from Margaret River). These fortified wine barrels impart depth, fruit, and a luxurious texture. Non-chill filtered and bottled in small batches, it’s crafted to preserve both flavor and place.

Perfect For:
After-dinner moments, intimate pours with dark chocolate, or when you want to impress someone with a whisky that’s both familiar and thrillingly different.

Expert Notes:
A darling of Australian whisky critics, Limeburners Port Cask is praised for its luscious texture and sophisticated balance. It offers a bolder, redder alternative to sherry finishes, especially appealing to wine-lovers venturing into whisky.

Customer Reviews:
"Like sipping a spiced berry tart, smooth, rich, and a little addictive."
"This is the one I pull out when someone says they don’t like whisky."
"Port finish done right. Deep, juicy, and still so well-balanced."

Interesting Fact:
While most port-finished whiskies use European fortified wine casks, Limeburners sources theirs locally, often from small Australian winemakers, making every batch subtly unique and terroir-driven.

Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy it neat or with a single drop of water to unlock deeper fruit and spice. For a pairing, try dark chocolate with sea salt, berry compote desserts, or even blue cheese for a bold contrast.

Distillery Background:
Established in 2005 in Albany, Great Southern Distilling Company was one of the first to produce single malt whisky in Australia under the Limeburners name. Surrounded by wind, sea, and wild coastline, the distillery matures its casks in extreme conditions, allowing nature to help craft a whisky that's undeniably Australian in spirit and flavor.
