25.01.2022 The Chapel in Burnie was the venue for a whisky tasting event as part of the 2020 Tasmanian Whisky Week program. A full house of whisky lovers heard from the master distillers, and tasted whiskies crafted by Hellyers Road, McHenry, Old Kempton, Launceston and Dark Valley distilleries. Thanks to Old Kemptons Martin Turmine for the images and to Nick & Ted of Whisky Waffle for hosting the night.

21.01.2022 Roll out the barrels! A new shipment of American oak casks arrived at Hellyers Road this morning and will soon play host to thousands of litres of new make spirit - ultimately evolving as liquid gold.

21.01.2022 We enjoy a great relationship with The Whisky Club, arguably the worlds best subscription whisky club. This month its members have access to a unique single malt we have produced especially for them. Its a 16 year Original single malt finished in ex-peat casks to deliver a mere whiff of smoke along with the typical zesty Hellyers Road Original notes. Thanks to Bertie and his team at The Whisky Club for their support - we know Whisky Club members will love this very special drop, made just for them! https://thewhiskyclub.com.au//hellyers-road-16-year-old-si

20.01.2022 The pulling power of Tasmanian whisky cannot be disputed.

Hellyers Road will be there along with, Old Kempton, McHenry, Dark Valley and Launceston distilleries. We hope everyone has a great night!

20.01.2022 Its a shame we werent open for lunch today as this rainbow, seen from our Visitor Centre a short time ago, was stunning. Perhaps it will reappear when we open again on Wednesday?

19.01.2022 For the past seven years we have been releasing a limited edition single malt in the Henry's Legacy series. Each of these whiskies has been named after a north west landmark either charted or named by our brand namesake, Henry Hellyer in the 1820's. This year's release is Freestone Cove and it is available for sale now through the Hellyers Road website. There are only 504 individually numbered 500mL wax sealed bottles available with all previous releases in this series sold out. It's not too late to celebrate the legacy of Henry Hellyer through an astute purchase of Freestone Cove.

18.01.2022 Our highly respected Taiwanese distributor, Everhigh Enterprises achieved great success at the World Whiskies Awards earlier this year with several Hellyers Road single malt products they purchased exclusively for the Taiwanese market. Foremost of these was a single cask from the Master Series range which was recognised as Australias Best Single Cask Single Malt. To mark the occasion, Everhigh has commissioned a series of promotional hangers to highlight the award wins to their customers.

16.01.2022 Like a jigsaw, the pieces of our distillery expansion are gradually falling into place. After lots of foundation work, the first of the pre-fabricated concrete walls are now being assembled. Soon we will have a meaningful new structure that by Christmas will deliver an extended bottling hall and administrative centre. Exciting times here at Hellyers Road!

16.01.2022 Despite the elements throwing up a few challenges, the Hellyers Road Visitor Centre is really buzzing today. The car park is at capacity as is the cafe with all Covid-19 procedures observed by our staff and guests.

15.01.2022 Take up of this years' Henry's Legacy edition, Freestone Cove (pictured below) has been really strong with over 200 bottles sold since last month's release. There were only 504 bottles produced of this Original single malt that has been finished in ex-port casks. It is a beautiful and unique whisky bottled at an ABV of 59.6%. You can purchase online or call us on 03 64330439. TASTING: The spirit is characterised by a rich chestnut tone that transcends to a scent of freshly crushed vanilla bean. Left to laze in the glass, the palate is at first enveloped with warm cinnamon laced teacake before stewed stone fruits ascend, lingering to a mouthfeel garnished with deft sprinklings of sea salt.

15.01.2022 All of the empty casks we promoted for sale yesterday have now been sold. Sorry if you missed out - they are a very popular item!
