- Description
- Hellyers Road's Journeyman begins in ex-bourbon barrels before finishing in aged Australian tawny casks, marrying the distillery's signature Highland-influenced character with tawny's oxidative complexity. Expect dried fruit, caramel, and subtle spice layered with the malt's natural texture and warmth. The tawny finish adds richness without overpowering the spirit's core identity. Perfect for evening sipping or as an alternative to traditional sherry-finished malts.
