Hellyers Road Original Roaring Forty Tasmania Single Tasmanian Malt Whisky ABV 40% 700ml

The entry level release from Tasmania's Hellyers Road distillery. Named after the 'Roaring Forties' winds which bring in the rainwater used in the production of the whisky, this is matured in American white oak barrels.

Single malt whisky from the Hellyers Road distillery in Tasmania (which Mike wrote a blog post about a while ago). This is the Original "Roaring Forty" expression, named after the 40km/h winds which blow in the rain-clouds, making the production of this whisky possible. It's aged in American white oak barrels and bottled with chill-filtration or additional colours.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Creamy lemon and vanilla - a bit like Lemon Meringue Pie. Hints of banana and toffee.

Palate

Grassy at first, before juicy notes of pear and plum appear.

Finish

Peanut brittle, cedar.
