An independent Tasmanian single malt whisky distillery established in 1997 by a cooperative of local dairy farming families. Descendants of those families remain its owners.
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.
Medicinal peat, camphor, lemon and seaweed give way to an elegant, fresh profile with roots, tar, mint and aniseed.
A superbly precise nose of mango, banana, custard and melon gives way to a powerful palate that becomes a real joy with water.
