A Fruit Bowl of a Single Cask
Aged for two decades in a single American oak ex-bourbon barrel, cask 4253.04, this rare release showcases the finesse and patience of long maturation on Tasmania's North West coast. This Tasmanian Single Malt has taken on near-mythical status around the distillery. From the moment Head Distiller Fiona Coutts tasted this precious nectar and had that “a-ha” moment, the whisky was set aside as Single Cask quality, bottled, and word spread quickly through the distillery. One sniff, and you will see why.
The presentation of this whisky is exceptional; each bottle is housed in a unique presentation box, handcrafted locally from premium Tasmanian timber by artisan Rob Van Tholen.
Milled, mashed, fermented and distilled on site, like all Hellyers Road whiskies.
Only 179 bottles made.
Of the 15 casks that were filled on September 9, 2004, this is the only one that lasted the full two decades. Siblings were used for various vattings between 2014 and 2020, and this single cask continued its evolution towards what is a truly magnificent whisky.
Each bottle is housed in a unique presentation box handcrafted by local master wood worker Rob van Tholen from prized Tasmanian timbers: Huon Pine, Myrtle and Celery Top Pine, and includes a letter of authenticity signed by our Head Distiller, Fiona Coutts. Adding to its individuality and intrigue, each presentation box has a secret locking mechanism to safeguard and showcase this treasured release.
