Overeem 2013 Cask Strength Port Cask Matured 60% First Release Tasmanian Single Malt Whisky OHD-008 - Historic

Overeem 2013 Cask Strength Port Cask Matured 60% First Release Tasmanian Single Malt Whisky OHD-008 - Historic

$1,500 AUD

60% ABV
700 ml

This is one of 122 bottles drawn from “special cask” number OHD-008 to represent Overeem’s First Port Cask Release at 60%.  And so its historic significance is only outdone by its scarcity!

The accompanying certificate states that the bottle is one of 123 when in fact there were only ever 122 bottles. It also says that the whisky was “sherry matured” when in fact it was, indeed, port matured. We have an explanatory letter from Jane Overeem confirming that this is an “authentic” discrepancy.

Official Tasting Notes

Nose: Notes of chocolate chip cookie, orange marmalade and clove.

Distillery

Overeem

Better known by the name of its founder and the product – Overeem – the distillery itself was originally called Old Hobart, although it was far from “old” and was not actually in Hobart but sat alongside the Overeem family home at Blackman’s Bay. Overeem was for a short time in common ownership with Australian Whisky Holdings under Lark, which in part reflected the long-standing friendship and close association between Bill Lark and Casey Overeem. However, ownership of the brand was returned to the Overeem family in 2020.

 Overeem is an important component in the early history of Tasmanian whisky development and we are delighted to present some seriously significant early Overeems as part of our Tasmanian Historic Collection.
