Hellyers Road is somewhat a story of Australian adventure. When the distillery began in 1997, distiller Mark Littler was a complete stranger to the whole process, however his time spent in the dairy industry gave him the knowledge that could be applied field-to-field. Using Inverness peated malt, the distillery produces some of Australia's finest peated whiskies, with the Slightly Peated being a welcome addition to Hellyers Roads increasingly impressive line-up.

On the nose the smoke will hit you right in the face, as you pull away though you might just catch some citrus. To be honest the taste wasn’t quite for me, though I can see its appeal. Citrus sweetness, some malt in there and a thick layer of smoke that holds strong minutes later. If you love a heavily smoked whisky, this one is definitely worth a look in.
This was surprisingly good. I usually hate peat, but this is subtle. Reminds me of a speyside scotch with just a hint of smoke. Sweeter fruit notes came forward. Nicely balanced. Would definitely drink again
Beautiful smokey peat, leading to notes of citrus and then vanilla. Maybe some honey in amongst the smoke as well.
This is my favorite peated Single Malt!
