Darkest Winter is one of Limeburners’ most awarded expressions, it was declared the best Whisky in the Southern Hemisphere by Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible, 2018. Darkest Winter Cask-Strength uses peat collected by hand from the deepest, darkest parts of the Valley of the Giant in the Great Southern region of WA, not far from the distillery in Albany. It’s the only whisky in the world using this peat source which gives it quite a unique flavour. The barley was smoked for an extended period, resulting in a heavier, more intense style of whisky ideally suited for those dark winter nights.
The whisky was matured in an ex-bourbon American Oak cask that produced 201 bottles and is bottled directly from the barrel with no added colouring or chill filtration.

Producer’s tasting notes.
……. exhibits spice and floral aromas when neat and a splash of water unleashes malted barley and intense complex smoky aromas. Each unique barrel will exhibit its own unique characteristics, creating slight variation from batch to batch.
