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, Overeem has been awarded not one, but two category-winner Gold Medals at the World Whisky Awards, truly a spectacular achievement for the family operated distillery.

Overeem's Port Cask release is where things all began. Port barrels have been the backbone of the Overeem range, with the darker flavours drawn from the cask complimenting the signature rich spirit of the distillery.

Expect a rich aroma of butterscotch, creme brulee and rum & raisin cake. Beyond that, hints of rosewater, and a distinct toasty note that is synonymous with Port casks.

On the palate, salted caramel, toasted marshmallow and christmas pudding, with dark chocolate and a hint of coffee.

The finish is long and sweet. Dessert in a glass.

 

Distillation & Provenance

Crafted only for our premium spirits

Distillation

Overeem Port 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-port casks — broken down and rebuilt from large 600-litre port pipes by a local Tasmanian cooperage to accelerate interaction between spirit and wood. Port cask maturation contributes rich red and dark fruit character: plum, dried cherry, dark berry, and underlying vanilla from the oak. Overeem's use of port casks is a defining feature of the distillery's range — the style is well suited to the fruit-forward character of the Tasmanian new-make spirit. Bottled at 43% ABV without chill-filtration, preserving the texture and intensity of the aged spirit.

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.
