Introducing the ‘The Road – Morning Light’, the 1st release from Hellyers Road Anniversary Collection. A limited-edition series of premium whiskies celebrating the best of the distillery. Each collection will compromise four releases, commencing with this 142-bottle release of vintage 2002 single malt.
This expression represents a true celebration of premium Tasmanian distilling with the artwork commissioned by local artist, David Fooks. The abstract landscape is inspired by the Hellyers Road region and explores the changes it sees over passing days, seasons and years
At 15+ years old, this is one of the oldest age-statement whisky Hellyers Road has ever released.
An alluring copper glow hints at time well spent in the cask. Freshly crushed vanilla bean greets the nose, a sublime precursor to the citrus tones that dance their way across the palate. An oily sweetness slowly absconds to a finish that is toasty and mellow to the very end.
