“The result of three exceptional casks, hand-selected and skillfully married together by distillery founder Casey Overeem, our annual Man of Promise Reserve release celebrates the promise Casey Overeem made to himself almost four decades ago. In a cousin’s basement, somewhere in a small town in Norway, Casey had his first distilling experience.
An already avid single malt whisky fan, Casey immediately made himself a promise – a promise to one day craft a single malt whisky that he could enjoy alongside the great whiskies of the world. Release #4 of our Man of Promise Reserve celebrates another wonderful year of Overeem Single Malt Whisky.
This is the first time we have released a marriage of Overeem Sherry & Bourbon casks – something Casey thoroughly enjoyed creating. Presented at an approachable 45.8% abv, it is rich and decadent and will perfectly compliment many food choices.”

Overeem distillery was the fourth modern Australian distillery; it was founded by Casey Overeem in 2007. 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.
