Nestled along the southern coastline of Western Australia, the Great Southern Distilling Company is a trailblazer in Australian whisky, established in 2004. It was the first distillery to legally create Single Malt Whisky in Western Australia and operates three distinct locations across the region, each offering unique experiences reflective of its surroundings.
The original distillery near Albany on Princess Royal Harbour provides guided tours where visitors can learn about the intricate processes involved in creating Limeburners expressions. These whiskies, crafted using time-honored methods, capture the essence of the locale from malting locally sourced barley to the final still run, offering exclusive insights into their acclaimed production.
In Porongurups, home to the world's oldest mountain range, the Tiger Snake Australian Whiskey is born, with a unique label featuring an "e" to differentiate it from Irish and Scottish spellings. Recently, the distillery introduced the 'Dugite whiskey' label, expanding its offerings and showcasing its versatility in Australian whisky production.
In Margaret River, amidst famed vineyards and a thriving tourism scene, the Margaret River Distilling Company stands proudly. Founded by Cameron Syme, the establishment utilizes a Tasmanian-made copper still to produce exceptional spirits, spanning multiple regions and offering diverse product lines while remaining committed to quality and authenticity.
