Hellyers Road Henry’s Legacy Series – Black Bluff
Black Bluff is the fifth release in the Henry’s Legacy Series from Hellyers Road Distillery in Tasmania. Slightly peated and aged for 13 years in a 200L American Oak ex-bourbon cask (Cask #4099.04), this limited-edition single malt was bottled at natural cask strength—63.7% ABV—and is non-chill filtered to retain maximum character.
Only 264 bottles were produced, each accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity and an A4 landscape image of the Black Bluff region that inspired the name. This release also earned a Gold Medal in the “Single Cask Single Malt” category at the 2019 World Whisky Awards, highlighting both its rarity and its quality.
