    Our family stopped by eager for a tasting. We started off with 2 flights of single malt whisky and cocktails however did not get the walked through tasting experience that 2 other groups received. Not sure why we were treated differently. I would hope that other people are not treated in a bias manner. We did not stay to buy any more drinks or dinner after the odd treatment received. The American oak was a bit of a sickly sweet with too much vanilla for my taste. The Sherry Oak was fairly monotonous predominantly orange. The Port oak was a much more pleasant warm nutmeg and cinnamon with a mix of spice and salt. The peated was the only one with any complexity on the nose, palette and after taste. I would not buy any of the 4 I and I'm sure others have far better bottles in on their shelves at home. I do wonder what their winning bottle tasted like. It's strange that it is not on a flight.

    Great tasting experience here. Loved everything we tried, but the gins steak the show.

    We stopped off today to pick up a bottle of whiskey for a special occasion. Mark was so friendly and knowledgeable and went out of his way to show us around. You don’t get the snobbery that you would get elsewhere, even with the world class reputation of this distillery. He was really down to earth and welcoming. He made our day.

    I enjoyed the whisky but as far as tasting experiences go this one was pretty poor. No info provided about the distillery or the spirits. Pretty much just order what you want and they provide it.

    We had a great afternoon tasting whiskey, gin and vodka. Sarah was looking after us and was very knowledgeable and just loved chatting with her. Very friendly and a great waterfront view with some great drinks.

    I have previously enjoyed Limeburners whisky, and will continue to drink it because of its flavour, but the distillery tasting experience detracted significantly from the brand in my view after visiting yesterday. The options were presented on a large A3 laminated page, and whilst there were detailed technical notes, there was little socialisation from the staff about options; despite there being very few people there. When wine tasting, you are embodied into the experience by a knowledgeable expert, but at Limeburners, the menu was thrust in front of us with nary an inclination to help us choose, simply waiting for us to order (note: all tastings are paid). Craftily, and unlike a winery, the full bottle price was not disclosed on the menu; requiring the scanning of a QR code, taking you to a web page showing the half-bottle prices such as "from $85". To my dismay at the shelving near the checkout the normal bottle price was almost double that. Limeburners have won some awards for their exceptional whiskies, yet the prices for these are out of reach for most of the patrons who would visit. In my view, the Limeburner's Infinity Solera cask (only available from Dan Murphys) is more affordable and as good as any general whiskey from Limeburners distillery. The staff member reacted negatively to my question about this style. We ordered a coffee and 2 whisky tastings. During a relatively quiet time, it took 2 minutes to serve the coffee yet they almost forgot the whisky order and had to be reminded 10 mins later. My view is that Limeburners need to rethink their local market appeal for the Albany distillery. I loved the idea of visiting the distillery after a hike in the beautiful Albany area, but wont be going back.

    Love the service and knowledge given. There’s a variety to try and do some testing ranging from $5 to $20. Would definitely come back again when in Albany and recommend trying Australian whisky

    Loved the different tastings on offer here! Great tasting liquors, and was tempted to buy them all! Out door area is great for big gatherings, and the front looks over the water. The peat they use is locally found and adds an amazing depth to the liquor. Worth popping in on your way back from the gap.

    Thanks to the Staff at Limeburners for their great service, tasting samples and providing food on a Tuesday at 2pm, which was an ask at other venues in Albany. Hospitality was exceptional, the product offering was amazing and just the little touches in hospitality that make you want to go back and explore more, thank you. 10/10.

    Really average food - pizza was like a supermarket frozen base. Chips good, chorizo and bread average. Had two gin cocktails which were great but not great enough to redeem the terrible pizza.

    After enjoying their whisky for many years up in Perth, we visited Limeburners distillery / restaurant for lunch and a tasting over the weekend. The staff were friendly, informative and clearly have both a passion for and deep understanding of their product. We enjoyed the ‘Award Winners’ tasting flight, as well as an Old-Fashioned cocktail and a local beer. The food was served promptly, was tasty and suited the whiskies perfectly. We enjoyed ourselves so much we picked up a bottle of the sherry cask to take home! Thanks again team.

    Only tried the whiskey side of things giving the gin a miss, however was very impressed by the flavours I tried. The service was awesome, very welcoming and non pushy with knowledge to offer if asked which was great. Tried a pizza, dips and marinated occy with breads which was a good size for the price. Overall, fantastic experience with a great view!
