Hellyers Road Distillery

What started as a cooperative of family-owned dairy farmers has evolved into the heart of Hellyers Road, Australia's oldest continually operating single malt whisky distillery. Inspired by the pristine Tasmanian wilderness, our founders embarked on a journey in 1997 to distil a whisky that encapsulates the purity of the region—leveraging clean air, abundant water, and fertile soil.

This journey bore fruit in 1999 with our first spirit, laying the groundwork for a distillery that melds tradition with innovation while paying homage to the land that gives our whisky its distinctive character.

Embracing the spirit of innovation that has defined our journey, Hellyers Road stands as a beacon of modern whisky production in Australia. Our unique, non-traditional stills, designed using our dairy farming heritage, are at the core of our process, producing a spirit that is remarkably smooth and rich in character. From the meticulous selection of local Tasmanian barley to our warm fermentation process that enhances the fruity and floral notes of our whiskies, every step in our crafting process is a testament to our uncompromising commitment to excellence.

Hellyers Road not only invites whisky lovers to delve into the heart of our distilling operations through our famous Whisky Walk Tour but also offers a rare chance to engage directly with our heritage by bottling their own (direct from the cask) rare and aged 20-year-old single malt. As we continue to share our passion with the world, Hellyers Road remains a symbol of uncompromising quality, patience, and the enduring spirit of Tasmania.
