Nose
Smoked and salted butter on freshly baked sour dough. Hints of minerality coupled with a soft vanilla and spiced agave syrup. Beach bonfire smoke. Flashes of desiccated coconut and hints of grapefruit with time in the glass
Palate
Sea salt and earthy minerals up front. Then hints of citrus and vanilla across the mid palate leading into a fantastic Smokey crescendo that peaks towards the back palate. A perfect balance of all the best notes of Highwayman and Laphroaig in equal balance.
Finish
With a long dry & ashy finish.
Welcome to Highwayman Whisky’s home page. A place for serious whisky lovers to explore everything about the first Byron Bay single malt whisky and the man behind it all, Dan Woolley.

Hope to share a Highwayman with you all soon….





Highwayman whisky is the hard work and lifelong commitment of Dan Woolley.
Dan has been one of the modern faces of whisky over the last ten years, holding one of the most sought-after Whisky ambassador roles in Australia. Throughout this role he travelled countless hours, covered thousands of Highway miles with a bag full of whisky, educating whisky lovers – He was the Highwayman of whisky. This role gave him a backstage pass to globally renown distilleries throughout Scotland (especially Islay), Kentucky, Tasmania and Japan. These journeys developed a deeper, hands on understanding of production and a huge passion for whisky maturation.
