Hellyers Road 16 Year Old Single Cask
In a first for Hellyers Road, this is a marriage of three of their very best 16 Year Old American Oak ex-bourbon casks, then finished in casks that previously held Hellyers’ Gold Medal winning Peated whisky for an extra layer of depth, complexity and indulgence.
AustraliaColour Rich Chestnut
Nose Delicately sweet. Honey on toast mingles with a gentle campfire smoke.
Palate Thick and oily, it melts in your mouth leaving maple syrup and hints of vanilla, with bush honey and a deft smoky haze.
Finish The long, smoky finish carries notes of charred jam and warm toffee syrup.
Overview
The next in our ongoing range of exceptional, hand-picked local whiskies representing the cream of Aussie whisky, this exclusive Finishing Cask Release is a first for Hellyers Road Distillery.
Richly complex and fruity, it’s a marriage of three of their very best 16 Year Old American Oak ex-bourbon casks (Cask #3240.01, Cask #3240.03 and Cask #3149.04) finished in casks that previously held Hellyers’ Gold Medal winning Peated whisky for an extra layer of depth, complexity and indulgence.
Bottled as Single Finishing Casks at natural cask strength, these are two absolutely superb, heavy and richly complex Tasmanian single malts with notes of bush honey and vanilla overlaid with a subtle smokiness and charred jam.
Don’t miss one of the oldest, most delicious Tasmanian single malts ever released.
Above all else, this is whisky made for the Club by one of the Club - our great friend and Club Member Mark Littler, one of many Aussie distilling legends who we count as fellow Members. It's all the more special as one of Mark’s final releases before departing Hellyers at the end of 2020 after two decades at the helm of one of Australia’s founding distilleries - we'll raise a dram to that!

Hellyers Road's History
As far as distillery histories go, Hellyers Road’s is one of the most charming. The distillery was established in 1999 by a group of whisky-mad dairy farming families from the wild and windswept northwest of Tasmania, and today remains firmly and very proudly in the hands of these same families.
