Description:
We’re honoured to offer you the opportunity to purchase a bottle of Hellyers Road oldest and most historic release to date: after more than 21 years of aging, Cask #2157.05 was carefully decanted to create the second oldest official bottling of an Australian single cask single malt whisky. This rare and special release is a milestone for Hellyers Road Distillery and a testament to the calibre of Australian whisky.

The Hellyers Road team comments;
“Cask #2157.05 was filled on June 6, 2002 and decanted August 28, 2023. Matured to perfection in a first-fill ex-Jack Daniel’s Bourbon barrel for 21 years, 2 months and 22 days, this cask yielded 179 glorious bottles at natural cask strength of 62.4% ABV. This single malt whisky is remarkably bright and vibrant, and showcases an incredible complexity that only careful, extended maturation in cask can create”

Each bottle is housed in a unique presentation box hand-crafted by local Master wood worker Rob van Tholen from prized Tasmanian timbers: Huon Pine, Myrtle and Celery Top Pine, and includes a letter of authenticity personally signed by our Head Distiller, Fiona Coutts. Adding to its individuality and intrigue, each presentation box has a secret locking mechanism to safeguard and showcase this treasured release.
