Overeem Bourbon Cask Matured Australian Single Malt Whisky 60%

The bourbon cask matured expression from Overeem, one of Tasmania’s most renowned whisky distilleries.

Founded by Casey Overeem, the distillery releases all their whiskies as single malt expressions at either 43% or 60%. 

The current release ex-bourbon cask at 60% is SD-005, which yielded 126 bottles. Each bottle is individually numbered.

The bourbon casks used for this expression are American oak and have been coopered into 100 litre size.

In 2020 ownership of the brand returned to the Overeem family and it is now driven by Casey’s daughter Jane Overeem and husband Mark Sawford. That also coincided with a significant price reduction.

Official tasting notes:

Nose: Creamy & rich, great balance and harmony between spirit and cask, subtle layers of citrus, vanilla and coconut.

Palate: Charred pineapple, caramelised apple and banana with soft vanilla and citrus notes, malt driven with soft oak and spice.

Finish: Delicious summer cocktails, Pina Colada! Creamy and lingering with a zippy finish, very, very yum.
