Hellyers Road is a whisky distillery in Burnie, Tasmania. Founded in 1997 by a group of dairy farmers, it takes its name from a road surveyed in 1827 by explorer Henry Hellyer. In 2010, Hellyers Road was recognised by the Malt Whisky Association of Australia for producing the nation's best single malt, and in 2013 Hellyers Road Pinot Noir Finish was voted ‘Best New World Whisky’ from a series of blind tastings conducted at the Whisky Live fair in Paris. Hellyers Road Distillery has been rated in the Top Ten Value for Money whiskies in the world, placing it alongside some of the world's biggest mass producing spirits brands. Hellyers Road quickly became the largest distillery in Tasmania by 2012. By 2015, the distillery had become the largest selling locally crafted boutique distillery in Australia. In 2021, the distillery won Best Australian Single Malt at the prestigious World Whisky Awards for the Henry Legacy Freestone Cove Single Malt. In 2022, the distillery again was recognised by the World Whisky Awards, winning the Best 12 Year Old and Under category as well as Best Australian Single Malt in the 13 Year Old and Over category, with the Hellyers Road 15 Year Old Slightly Peated Single Malt. The same expression from the distillery's previous releases also won Best Australian Peated whisky in the previous year. Australian markets include: Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia.
