Aged in 200L American Oak ex-Bourbon casks for a minimum of five years, the whisky then sees secondary maturation in French Oak barriques that had Tasmanian Pinot Noir aged in them. This secondary maturation in French Oak ex-Tasmanian Pinot Noir casks adds beautiful red berry notes and a unique Tasmanian influence to this small batch single malt.
With rich and full boasting vibrant notes of raisin toast, stewed fruits and candied orange with a hint of clove, our signature Double Cask is approachable in style and a whisky you’ll keep coming back for.

Worse than Red Label
Improved bottle design from Hellyers Road. However unpleasant contents. As much as I wanted to like it i didn't. Unpleasant hints of sheep on the nose. Flavour profile lacked depth with mild notes of stewed fruit underneath equally underwhelming cinnamon notes. The finish is anything but smooth with notes of 'sweat shop' left lingering upon the rancid spice.

Another fine malt
As with all the products we have purchased over years since first visiting Hellyers Road Distillery in 2008 this is yet another excellent product. We look forward to many more purchases and hopefully more visits in the future. Keep up the good work. Slainte.
