Hellyers 12-year-old whisky is back

Hellyers Road’s Original 12 Year single malt is back on shelves.

First taken to market in 2014, the whisky's quality and keen pricing soon found strong market favour, with available stocks gone within 18 months of release.

According to Hellyers Road’s Master Distiller, Mark Littler the distillery was taken by surprise at how quickly the release became fully allocated, but a new batch of Original 12 year is now available.

“We have in excess of 3000 700mL bottles available in the current batch and will have more 12 year stock coming on line for bottling in 2021 which is really exciting," he said.

"Our oldest whiskies are now approaching 20 years of age and are reserved for ultra-premium single cask releases however we are thrilled, to again be able to offer this lovely core range 12 year single malt, which was so popular previously."

Hellyers Road Original 12 Year carries the typical citrus and vanilla tones of the distillery’s Original flavour profile whiskies, but age has added a new dimension to the character and body. Its rich brassy colour gives rise to a mouthfeel that exudes an oily sweetness, tinged with shavings of citrus peel poking through. The finish is calming and long, with vanilla evident.

Hellyers Road Distillery Original 12 Year single malt is available at cellar door, online and soon to major and independent stockists.
