Owned by Australia’s second largest dairy cooperative Betta Milk, the Hellyer’s Road distillery produces its single malt from barley grown and malted locally by Joe White Maltings. This impressive and enchanting version instantly takes us to stunning flavour and aroma lands where the peat is in turn ashy, oily, earthy and salty. Everything here is beautiful, in particular the outstanding mineral reduction that so perfectly evokes the Tasmanian terroir.

  • Heavily Peated

Color : Or soutenu.

Nose : Precise, delicate. Floral (lily, iris), vanilla, herbaceous (alfalfa, hay), smoky, root-like (ginger) and empyreumatic (pellets, ashes), the first nose is also fruity (William pear) and licorice-like. On aeration, the aromatic palette reveals darker, oily (olive), camphorated, animal (bacon) and medicinal (sinapism) peat.

Palate : Clear, slender. Behind a gorgeous mineral reduction (schist, slate), the attack gives its own take on the animal character of the nose (bresaola, Grisons beef). The herbal mid-palate (nettle, peppermint) becomes lemony and milky (coconut, vanilla flan). The very end of the palate is infused (sage, lemongrass).

Overall : Long, distinguished. The earthy start of the finish (dried peat) brings to mind the harvest period (cut barley). In the after-taste, the same blocks of rich, oily and salty peat mix with the sweet wispy smoke of a Havana cigar.
