Distillery Info
The story of Hellyers Road is as unlikely as it is rewarding.
It is one of foresight, determination and dedication, inspired by Henry Hellyer’s spirit of adventure. With that guiding spirit, we create whisky that captures the very essence of endeavour, our unique landscape and character.
The true taste of Tasmania.
Hellyers Road Distillery is known for continually producing some of Australia’s best single malt whiskies and being a leader in peated whisky expressions. Revered around the world, but always remaining true to our sense of place.
It all began near a town called Burnie - a breath-taking landscape on Tasmania’s northwest coast - a corner of the world more accustomed to building things, growing things and milking things. Winding up and above from this town is a road. This road was once a trail.
The trail was once bush – bush that in 1827 was carved out by Henry Hellyer, an explorer and cartographer, who was tasked to chart this rugged and naturally beautiful landscape. A wild landscape that bore an abundance of challenges and set in motion a journey into the unknown.
Today, the road (named in Henry's honour) leads us home to our distillery and embodies the spirit of our history. Distillery Notes
