Great Southern's whisky is marketed as 'Limeburners', named after an area nearby the distillery where lime burning took place in convict times. The whiskies are matured primarily in ex-Brandy oak, with the occasional ex-bourbon and experimental cask used. This is the first release from Great Southern and with the Australian whisky industry on the cusp of a boom period, one should consider the astonishing prices first and early releases of Scottish whiskies are now achieving.

Tasting Note: Dull gold colour with water like hue. Expressive, fresh florals, mixed peel, and toffee above characteristics above a distinctive exotic spicy background. The palate reflects the nose to perfection. Almost voluptuous in texture, delivering, vibrant, fresh citrus and apricot backed by pepperberry, treacle, and cinnamon. Gentle prickle. Very well balanced. Terrific oak & fruit integration. Ripe fruits continue into the long aftertaste.
