Hellyers Road Distillery proudly presents the latest release in the fully matured Sherry Cask portfolio. This sherry cask single malt was matured for 10 years in traditional 250 litre Oloroso casks from Jerez (Spain) and represents the oldest fully matured sherry cask whisky known to be released by any Australian distillery to date and continues Hellyers Road’s legacy of producing sherry cask whiskies of incredible distinction and quality.
FROM THE DISTILLER
This Oloroso de Jerez 10-year-old release is a small batch marriage of carefully selected casks from 2014. Hellyers Road Distillery is in the enviable position of having the foresight to lay down our new make spirit in a significant parcel of these exceptional casks from de Jerez in Spain for full maturation. Reaping the rewards of patience now 10 years later we invite you to savour this sweet and savoury dram, a melange of flavours to delight the senses, you will not be disappointed!
Size: 700mL
ABV: 46.2%
- Fiona Coutts, Head Distiller
Nose - Toffee, treacle, orange zest, brioche
and clove.
Palate - Palate coating with rich caramel, honey, subtle chocolate and stewed fruits
Finish - Incredibly smooth and elegant with morish sweet notes.
The whiskey was very mellow and smooth, with a sherry and Cherry finish. Great by itself or with your favourite mixer.
I bought this and the 7 year peated at the same time.It would not be fair of me to compare the two as they are vastly different but both stand out on their own.Smooth ,rich and complex it made me look at whisky in a different way..
Sensational - i am not a fan of peat flavored whisky
how ever all the other Helliers Road whisky’s I have in my collection are fantastic .
An update on the shares from time to time would be appreciated as well
Widening my obsession with Scottish single malts, I’ve been exploring Australian distilleries. Hellyers popped up on social media and boy am I glad I jumped at their cyber sale for the 10yo Oloroso sherry cask. What a treat! Toffee, caramel, cloves even a touch of marzipan in there. Better than most 10yo have a right to be… 10 mins in the glass and it’s open for business! I’ll be back for more, and need to visit the distillery too, that will be one for 2025, hopefully some distillery only specials like my fav Glengoyne in Scottish lowlands.
Delicious 😋
