Tasting Notes

Overeem is one of Tasmania's original whisky distilleries.

Founded in 2005 by Casey Overeem, fuelled by a burning passion to make great spirit, the distillery has been through several iterations, now resting in the hands of Casey's daughter Jane, and her husband Mark Sawford since 2019, operating as a family business.

Since then, Overeem has been producing some of Tasmania's best family-owned single malt, winning a wide range of awards both domestically and overseas. 

In 2026, The Overeem Bourbon Cask Distillers Strength was awarded Gold, as well as Best in Category for Single Cask Australian Single Malt (12 Years & Under) at the World Whisky Awards, a momentous achievement for the distillery's standard release.

Overeem's Bourbon Cask release is aged in ex-Heaven Hill American Oak casks, known for imparting a bold, vanilla & citrus forward flavour onto whiskies aged in them.

This single malt is loaded with tropical notes, think coconut, pineapple and grilled banana. On the nose these flavours are bright and fragrant, promising mountains of flavour. On the palate, you are met with vanilla, coconut, and grilled tropical fruits, as well as a savoury oak spice & balanced texture. The finish is well balanced, sweet toffee apple and charred oak.

 

Distillation & Provenance

Crafted only for our premium spirits

Distillation

Overeem Bourbon Cask Distiller's Strength is a Tasmanian single malt from Old Hobart Distillery in Hobart, matured for a minimum of five years in 100-litre ex-bourbon American oak casks — smaller than standard barrel sizes, allowing a greater surface-area-to-liquid ratio and more active maturation of Overeem's fruity, light spirit. The casks are sourced from large-format bourbon barrels broken down and remade by a local cooperage. Bourbon cask maturation typically contributes notes of vanilla, honey, coconut, and toasted oak to the spirit. This Distiller's Strength expression is bottled at 43% ABV without chill-filtration, representing the core character of the bourbon-matured line at a strength suited for everyday appreciation.

Provenance

Overeem Whisky is produced in Hobart, Tasmania — founded by Casey Overeem in 2005 as Old Hobart Distillery, with the first casks filled in 2007. Overeem was the fourth whisky distillery established in Tasmania and is considered one of the founding distilleries of Australian whisky. The distillery produces small-batch single malt whisky of around 8,000 bottles annually, drawing on Tasmanian barley and water and maturing spirit in a selection of port, sherry, bourbon, and PX casks. Casey Overeem sold the distillery in 2014; his daughter Jane subsequently bought back the Overeem brand and whisky stocks in 2020, re-establishing family ownership of the marque.

About this Spirits

Tasmania

Apart from being the most southerly wine region in Australia, Tasmania has among the coolest growing subregions with the potential to make distinctly different wines than in the rest of the country.

Most well known for cool-climate varietals like Pinot noir and Chardonnay (thus sparkling too), Sauvignon Blanc smaller plantings of Riesling, Cabernet and Pinot Gris (more commonly Pinot labelled Pinot Grigio)

Historically, Tasmania can lay claim to being the founder of both the Victorian and South Australian wine industries as William Henty sailed from Launceston to Portland (in Victoria) in 1834 and planted grape cuttings there. Though not conclusively proven, it's believed that John Hack planted vines in South Australia in 1837, closely followed in 1838 by John Reynell.

Warmer vintages (possibly attributable to global warming) has had positive effects on region's industry, allowing grapes in recent vintages to achieve full phenolic ripeness, making for vibrant wines that have been widely accepted as world class.
