Hellyers Road Distillery Original Cream Liqueur
The folks who started Hellyers Road Distillery back in the 1990s were dairy farmers who wanted to diversify their business in the face of challenging conditions so, in many ways, this product is the liquid legacy of that decision. With nearly 30 years on the market, it’s become a true Australian favourite, combining Tasmanian dairy with Tasmanian whisky for a local version of Baileys that’s as Australian as ugg boots. But unlike Baileys, this won’t leave you with a weird film on your tongue from what I can only guess is lots of thickeners and preservatives. Instead, here we have real cream that you can both smell and taste, with a balanced sweetness and an aroma that will remind you of Nanna scalding milk for hot chocolate. Sweet, yes, but not overly so, and with just enough kick from Hellyers’ robust whisky style, this is a classic Aussie spirit that’s hard to fault.
