From The North West Wilds
Australia's Oldest Operating Whisky Distillery
Hellyers Road’s roots in this pristine environment stretch back over eighty years, beginning with a dairy cooperative fuelled by a strong sense of community and connection to the land. This bond, enriched by the world's purest air and rain, harvested after a 20,000km journey across the Southern Ocean, laid the foundation for what would become a landmark in Australian whisky production. In 1997, leveraging this deep-rooted heritage, they ventured into whisky distillation, drawing inspiration from our surroundings and a communal spirit to create Hellyers Road Distillery.
Today, Hellyers Road is more than just a distillery; it's a legacy preserved by the second, third, and fourth generations of those original farming families. Together, they are committed to crafting Australia’s Finest Aged Whisky, blending time-honoured traditions with the innovative spirit that their unique Tasmanian remoteness inspires. Hellyers Road is a journey of patience, a celebration of their home, and a dedication to producing unparalleled whisky that continues to set the bar worldwide.
From the grain right through to the bottling Hellyers Road has proudly done everything onsite since day one, all the brewing, distillation, ageing and bottling has been performed onsite. Something that anyone can come and see, open for tours every day of the year (excluding public holidays).
