Hellyers Road Distillery

Australia's oldest continually operating single malt whisky distillery. Offers 20-year-old cask bottling

Hellyers Road represents Australia’s oldest continually operating single malt whisky distillery, originating from a cooperative of family-owned dairy farmers established in 1956. The distillery’s modern journey began in 1997 when founders sought to create whisky embodying the purity of Tasmania’s pristine wilderness, with their first spirit produced in 1999. The operation leverages clean air, abundant water, and fertile soil unique to the region. Production employs non-traditional stills designed from dairy farming heritage, creating remarkably smooth spirits with fruity and floral characteristics. The facility offers the Whisky Walk Tour and enables visitors to bottle their own rare, cask-aged 20-year-old single malt directly from oak. Located on North West Tasmania’s rugged coast, the distillery exemplifies the merger of traditional craftsmanship with innovative modern production.
