Not an award winner and overpriced for the drop

I purchased this based on a previous award winning Hellyers Road release that I genuinely enjoyed. Unfortunately this expression is very different. On the nose I found an unusual peat character that did not align with the vanilla, sweet fruit and floral notes described on the website. Those softer elements were largely absent for me. On the palate the texture felt unusually thick and coating. It may be the result of non chill filtration, but it came across as heavier than I expected, and not in a way that added complexity. Overall this one did not work for my palate. I would not purchase it again and would be hesitant to recommend it, especially compared to earlier Hellyers Road releases I have enjoyed.

I’m really not sure why this one got such good reviews. The flavour is sharp,, unbalanced, lacking body, and just rather unpleasant. The aroma is reminiscent of the worst cheap blends. Perhaps I just got a bad bottle?

Product Details

Roaring Forties is a bright and approachable single malt, offering a smooth, balanced profile that is effortlessly moreish. Distinct from the bold complexity of Hellyers Road Double Cask, this whisky embraces a lighter, vibrant character and a true celebration of refined craftsmanship.
Its versatility shines through, whether savoured neat to appreciate its subtle layers, poured over ice for a refreshing twist, or stirred into a cocktail for a modern take. Perfect for any moment.
Roaring Forties is a whisky made to be enjoyed, no matter the occasion.
Nose: Subtle oak and luscious sweetness in perfect balance. A twist of lemon peel and vibrant florals, grounded by oatmeal, cream, dried apricots, and a hint of cacao nibs.
Palate: Vanilla ice cream with strawberries in syrup. Plump sultanas and a full, sweet mid-palate, with a whisper of smoke.
Finish: Medium length, smooth and moreish.
