Only 80 bottles have been produced, each retailing for AUD$1,450. To some, 22 years might seem like a lifetime, but for award-winning distillery Hellyers Road, it couldn't have come soon enough. The Australian whisky icon has unveiled its oldest expression to date, the American Oak 22 Year Old from Single Cask 2325.03. Milled, mashed, fermented and distilled on-site, the latest release marks a decidedly home-grown endeavour, buoyed by a unique sense of terroir that is, unapologetically, Tasmanian. Sourced a single 200-litre cask, the aged expression was first laid down in November 2002, where it matured for an extraordinary 22 years, 3 months and 25 days in one American oak, ex-bourbon cask formerly home to Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey. From that cask, just 80 bottles were produced, each exuding notes of soft vanilla, ginger and a rich honeyed finish. According to Fiona Coutts, head distiller at Hellyers Road, the long fruit-forward American Oak 22 Year Old Single Cask 2325.03 represents the pinnacle of the label's maturation approach. Subtle, soft and layered with intricate complexity, the whisky elevates Hellyers Road's house style to another tier of premium production. 'The Hellyers Road American Oak 22 Year Old Single Cask 2325.03 is a stunning example of how our whisky ages so well in large American oak barrels,' Coutts said. 'The influence of the Bass Strait, a stone's throw from our Bond Stores, paired with time in a 200-litre ex-bourbon cask, has resulted in a whisky of depth, complexity and concentration. Honey and vanilla notes are at the fore, complemented by a magic that only time, the right oak and contact with oxygen can create over two decades.' Fiona Coutts, head distiller at Hellyers Road | Image: Hellyers Road Distillery As Coutts explained, a premium whisky of this esteem demanded more than just a standard bottling. Each unit of 22-Year-Old American Oak release is housed in a unique presentation box hand-crafted by local master woodworker Rob van Tholen from prized Tasmanian timbers. The fusion of Huon Pine, Myrtle and Celery Top Pine, speaks not only to the ageing process of the liquid inside, but also to the label's connection to the local land. Hellyers Road has been a staple of the Tasmanian whisky industry since its inception in 1997, producing a stellar back catalogue of single malt expressions and aged whiskies; none more important than this. To mark this milestone moment, the label has also included a letter of authenticity with each bottle, personally signed by Fiona Coutts. Adding to its individuality and intrigue, each presentation box has a secret locking mechanism to safeguard and showcase this treasured release. An exceptional example of aged Australian whisky showing the results of patience and the influence of maturation by the sea, the Hellyers Road American Oak 22 Year Old Single Cask 2325.03 is available now and priced at AUD$1,450. Only 80 bottles have been produced, with the expression expected to sell out.

University Bridge in Saskatoon reopens after fatal motorcycle crash
A 22-year-old woman has died after a motorcycle crash in Saskatoon. The crash between a car and a motorcycle at around 7:30 a.m. CST led to a shut down of the University Bridge at the peak of Saskatoon's morning commute on Thursday. Traffic restrictions on University Bridge were removed by approximately 4:45 p.m. CST. The collision happened near the downtown end of the bridge. Police closed down vehicle and pedestrian traffic and taped off access from 25th Street, Spadina Crescent, College Drive and Clarence Avenue. The motorcycle slid about 100 metres past the crash point, leaving a debris trail and coming to rest against a curb on 25th Street. Saskatoon police told media the 22-year-old driver of the motorcycle was transported to hospital, where she was later pronounced dead. On Thursday morning, city crews were setting up barricades at both ends of the bridge and police were telling pedestrians that it would remain closed for an unknown length of time. The closure affected traffic across the city. The Broadway Bridge is already closed for maintenance, and drivers coming downtown on College Drive were shifted to the Victoria Bridge, which is already clogged because the roundabout at its downtown base is partially closed, forcing drivers to divert through a convoluted circuit that passes in front of the Remai Modern art museum.
