Great Southern Distillery – Limeburners Barrel M37 Single Malt. Albany, Western Australia, Australia. ABV: 61%. Tasted at my mate Joel’s place, $0 (Joel’s shout – well it was part of a whisky tasting swap).
Colour: Deep copper.
Nose: Bit of an alcohol prickle, suggests quite a hit to come. Sultana aromas too.
Palate: Candied dried fruit, overshadowed by the big alcohol heat.
Finish: Again the heat dominates, slowly filling your chest as it makes its way down. Long finish, a few meaty flavours in the fade.
Comments: A whisky to put hairs on your chest, bottled at a barrel strength of 61%. Not as refined as the other Limeburners I’ve tried so far (see the M104, M100, M67, M174).
Barbara
I have an unopened bottle of this same whisky – in fact bottle number 073 – the next one in the series. I’d quite like to sell it. I know they were made quite early in Limeburners history – are they worth much?

Hi Barbara, whisky was made to be enjoyed! My advice would be to crack it open and share it with some friends, it’s a great drop. 🙂 Unless the whisky is from a barrel/batch that has won a huge international award, you’re really not going to find there’s much demand for it on the second hand market. Hope you enjoy drinking it as much as I did!
Cheers,
