Hellyers Road Peated 2004
Hellyers Road
Tasting Notes
A delightful adventure awaits in this captivating Australian single malt from the Hellyers Road Distillery in Tasmania. Distilled in 2004 and initially bottled exclusively for France, this gently peated expression tantalizes the senses with a tropical embrace. The nose beckons with grilled pineapple and tangy passion fruit notes, harmoniously intertwined with floral malt and medicinal peat nuances. As the dram caresses the palate, the exotic fruitiness persists, dancing in harmony with a depth of herbal, vegetal zest and the warmth of a crackling bonfire smoke. The finish lingers with sweet caramel and boozy trifle accents, while coastal salinity and rich, oily peat smoke gently waft by, leaving a lasting impression. With only 192 bottles released at a robust 61.7% ABV cask strength, this Australian gem promises an unforgettable journey for the discerning whisky enthusiast.
