Hellyers Road 19 Year Old ‘Voyager Cask’ American Oak & French Oak Single Cask Tasmanian Single Malt Whisky
The Hellyers Road 19 Year Old ‘Voyager Cask’ (Cask No. #20F10C03) is a limited edition Tasmanian single malt showcasing an extraordinary dual maturation journey. Initially matured for 16 years in first-fill American oak ex-bourbon casks, the whisky was then finished for an additional 3 years in a French oak liqueur cask, adding layers of richness and depth. Bottled at a natural cask strength of 57% ABV, this single cask yielded only a small number of individually numbered bottles, making it one of the most collectible releases from Hellyers Road.
