Hellyers Road Distillery proudly presents the newest release in the rich tapestry of its Peated single malt expression. From our meticulous approach to selecting only the finest peated barley sourced from Inverness, Scotland, Hellyers Road has cemented its reputation as being Australia’s foremost Peated Whisky producer.
This exquisite release marks a triumphant return to our single malt portfolio, bottled at 46.2% ABV and adorned with a prestigious Gold Medal from the esteemed 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Our commitment to excellence shines through in every aspect of this expression, from the selection of first-fill American Oak ex-bourbon casks from Heaven Hill to the infusion of premium peated malted barley sourced directly from Inverness.
“Each sip reveals layers of subtle sweetness, vanilla, and savoury peat, underscored by a nuanced salinity that is unique to Hellyers Road Distillery's cool maritime climate in Northwest Tasmania,” explains Fiona Coutts, Head Distiller.
Nose - Upon the nose, sweet tea and brine notes tantalize the senses, followed by a delicate balance of sea salt, oyster shell, green leaf, and fresh bark. Subtle whispers of campfire embers intertwine with a hint of medicinal allure in the background.
Palate - On the palate, a smooth and textural journey unfolds, with fresh peat leading the way alongside herbal tones, smoked leaf, and the essence of oyster. A touch of honey sweetness gracefully rounds out the palate, delivering a sophisticated richness that coats the senses with unparalleled elegance.
Finish - As the journey culminates, a medium-length finish continues to enchant, resonating across the palate with effortless smoothness. Experience the perfect harmony of balance and refinement in this impeccably crafted peated single malt whisky.

I first tried peated Whisky over 14 years ago while on holiday in Tasmania. Since then, I've sampled peated whiskey from other distilleries. I can't go past a distillery without stopping in to sample what they have on offer. I've yet to find one that even comes close to hellyers road 7 year old peated single malt
I regularly enjoy Ardbeg 10, Talisker 10 and a number of Islay whisky’s.
This is very much becoming my replacement for these as I look to keep it local. This is a very an enjoyable sweet smoke with a complete flavour profile that will have you going back for another dram to journey through the flavour experience guaranteed.
I couldn’t have tasted a better whisky to toast and celebrate the life of my Mum.
