Hellyers Road Single Malt Whisky Distillery: Barrel Room & Tasting

Walk inside one of the Southern Hemisphere's largest single-malt whisky distilleries, just 10 minutes from the pier. Rare small-batch expressions, a barrel room the size of a cathedral, and tastings poured by the master distiller's own team.

What to expect

The moment you step into the warehouse, the sweet vanilla perfume of American oak barrels hits you. Your guide walks you through malting, distilling, and maturation before leading you to the tasting bar. Expressions range from their signature Original through peated, aged 12-year, and whisky-cream liqueur. The on-site café and providore offer Tasmanian charcuterie and cheese to pair — a full sensory hour that requires nothing more than a short taxi from the wharf.
