Tasmanian single malt whisky brand made by Hellyers Road Distillery near Burnie.
Excellent peated single malt balancing meaty smoke, citrus and coastal notes with Hellyers Road’s signature light, fruit-forward character.
A very impressive little beast: richly fruity and mentholated, with smoked banana and mango, a long peppery finish, and almost cask-strength power.
A superbly precise nose of mango, banana, custard and melon gives way to a powerful palate that becomes a real joy with water.
A spectacularly fruity nose leads to a palate with stone fruits, charred mocha, mint and earthiness, followed by a long, spicy finish.
