Hellyers Road — North West Tasmania

Celebrating World Whisky Day

Australia's Best.
Poured Live.

Wednesday 13 May·8pm AEST·Watch Live

Some distilleries make noise early.
Hellyers Road made time.

Since 1997, from the wild north-west coast of Tasmania, they've been quietly building one of Australia's most serious aged single malt ranges. Last year, the 2025 World Whiskies Awards named their 21 Year Old Peated Cask Finish the Best Australian Single Malt.


To celebrate World Whisky Day, the Whisky Wayfarers team are hosting a live tasting with ten passionate whisky people from around Australia. Three rare expressions. Real conversation. No script.
