Hellyers Road Distillery

Hellyers Road Distillery sits on the route of Hellyers Road which once led from Bass Strait deep into the wild, rugged and remote mountains of North West Tasmania. Close to the coast, thick mountain forests give way to the rich, fertile red soil. It was on this soil in 1957 that a small group of family-owned dairy farms joined to form a cooperative. The business thrived and by 1997 they sought to diversify – choosing to respect the world’s purest air, purest water and temperate climate of this incredible land, to start a whisky distillery. So began Hellyers Road – Australia’s Oldest Operating Whisky Distillery.

Still largely owned by the descendants of those dairy farming families, Hellyers Road today brings you an unbroken heritage of the finest single malt whiskies, handcrafted with a restless spirit in remote North West Tasmania. Exporting worldwide since 2013, Hellyers Road has been a pioneer in establishing premium Australian whisky on the global stage and has been internationally recognised as an Australian Icon of Whisky, inducted into the Whisky Hall of Fame in 2018. Often regarded as Australia’s most unique distillery, we invite you to discover how Hellyers Road Distillery hones its craft.
