From our meticulous approach to selecting only the finest peated barley sourced from Inverness, Scotland, Hellyers Road has cemented its reputation as being Australia’s foremost peated whisky producer. Our peated grain is sourced from Bairds Maltings in Scotland – renowned for supplying many of the peated whisky distillery icons. This release represents our passion to continuously craft world class peated single malt whiskies of incredible distinction and quality. A gently, but distinctly peated whisky with a blended mash bill of unpeated Tasmanian malted barley and traditionally peated malt, aged for seven years in first fill American Oak ex-Bourbon casks. A “gateway” peated single malt - luring in many who, until trying it, thought they did not like peated whisky.

A whisky that tells a story of depth and refinement, The Journeyman is crafted for those who appreciate the artistry of time and tradition. Matured for eight years, this distinguished single malt begins its journey in bourbon casks, developing a smooth foundation before a secondary maturation in fine old tawny casks imparts layers of rich complexity. Nose: Ginger snaps and baking spice, layered with buttery fruit toast. Hints of tobacco and sandalwood add depth. Palate: Red delicious toffee apples and fresh plums preserved in syrup. Dark chocolate and mejdool dates intertwine, while oak tannins provide balance against a rich dark fruit backdrop Finish: A complex dram with well-balanced warmth across the palate and a lingering, satisfying finish.

This sherry cask single malt was matured for 10 years in traditional 250 litre Oloroso casks from Jerez (Spain) and represents the oldest fully matured sherry cask whisky known to be released by any Australian distillery to date and continues Hellyers Road’s legacy of producing sherry cask whiskies of incredible distinction and quality. Toffee, treacle, orange zest, brioche and clove on the nose. Palate coating with rich caramel, honey, subtle chocolate and stewed fruits. The finish is incredibly smooth and elegant with morish sweet notes.

The nose is drawn to delicate citrus tones of lemon and orange, while the palate is enveloped in a vanilla sweetness that lingers like a boiled sweet before retreating to a warm, soothing finish. A delightfully rewarding single malt experience, further enhanced by its time in the cask.
