Hellyers Road Distillery continues to deliver excellent drops with their oldest age variant. Distilled two and a half times, this whisky matured for the full 12 years in American oaks casks. While this may not seem such a long time, Tasmanian and Australian whiskies typically spend less time in the barrel than their Scottish counterparts, due to a tendency of the wood to take over the whisky. Not currently available in the US.

Love the Hellyers style, fresh cereal notes, very lively and a subtle flavor that is distintively Hellyers - 12YO is the pinnacle and a great highland style dram ! Love it
Very vanillary on the nose. Slight hint of lemon-orange at the end. On the palate a subdued honey mellowness progressing to a spiced lavender finish. Pass.
Very thick, oily dram! Overwhelmingly so in my opinion, to the point where it is almost undrinkable.
Citrus notes, reminds me of yuzu Palate smoky
First Tassie whisky…very yummy
