"A powerful nose brings together barbecued red meat with the gentle sweetness of orange, strawberry, and apple. The complexity continues on the palate with chestnut mushroom."
World Whiskies Awards 2025
Hellyers Road Distillery has proudly claimed another prestigious title at the 2025 World Whiskies Awards, with our 21 Year Old Peated Cask Finish 20F05c01 winning "Best Australian Single Malt Whisky."
Hellyers Road 21 Year Old Peated Cask Finish 20F05c01 is an exceptional expression of Australian whisky. It is matured for 17 years in first-fill American oak ex-bourbon barrels, followed by a secondary maturation for 4 years in our own freshly tipped 2004 richly peated cask, allowing the whisky to develop a remarkable depth of flavour.
Here's what Head Distiller Fiona Coutts has to say about the unique character of the whisky:
"The Hellyers Road 21 Year Old Peated Cask Finish 20F05c01 is a true testament to the quality of the peated whiskies crafted at Hellyers Road, and is made all the more remarkable by our maritime bond stores, a mere stone's throw from the tumult of Bass Strait. The interplay of sweet smoke, maritime salinity, coastal botanicals, and the rich, layered complexity makes this whisky stand out, and we're thrilled to see it celebrated with this prestigious award."
Limited to 301 bottles only.
Each bottle is housed in a unique presentation box hand-crafted by local master wood worker Rob van Tholen from prized Tasmanian Blackheart Sassafras and Myrtle woods.
