Hellyers Road is a distillery in Burnie, Tasmania, which was founded in 1997 by a group of dairy farmers. It takes its name from a road surveyed in 1827 by the explorer Henry Hellyer.
Whisky production in New Zealand essentially goes back to Scottish immigrants and thus the Wilson family, even though the New Zealand Distillery was opened as early as 1848, but was quickly abandoned. Since 1974, production has taken place on the site of the former Willowbank Brewery, but this distillery was finally closed in 1997. Today, the New Zealand Whisky Company distributes the remaining casks.
