Cask History:

Whisky Fair selected, OHD-110, was a 100-litre port cask and will be offered in Overeem’s elegant 700ml bottles.

Years of supply issues (read: zero stocks) have kept Overeem away from Sydney Whisky Fair, but they returned in 2017. 

The Overeem distillery began as a hobby for owner Casey Overeem, who commissioned a Hobart-made Knapp Lewer copper pot still and placed it in his garage. Some people put cars in their garage, other people put bars. Casey put a distillery.

Production started in 2007, with Casey filling 100 litre ex-port and ex-sherry casks. These came to maturation after five or six years, on average, and became one of Australia’s most cult-loved whiskies. 

Part of the initial Aussie whisky push, when Lark’s Bill Lark, Limeburners’ Cameron Syme, Bakery Hill’s David Baker and Sullivans Cove’s Patrick Maguire were telling the story Australian single malt whisky, Casey and daughter Jane Overeem became much loved fixtures on the Australian whisky scene.

A tough slog initially (“We make whisky in Australia?”) it was soon to be in a post-international award recognition world that demand for Overeem would quickly outstrip supply. Any period of time in the past that Casey decided to take some time off for a holiday was suddenly felt half a decade on, when both sherry and port cask expressions were unavailable for over a year respectively.

In January 2014 Casey sold the Overeem business to Lark, the distillery his good mate and Australian whisky Godfather Bill Lark had established, although the stills remained in his shed at the end of the driveway at their family home.

After a period of planning and hand-over, the stills have now been moved and Overeem is now well-and-truly a sister brand to Lark. Excitingly for drinkers, the slow trickle of releases has started again.

After robust negotiations Overeem agreed to sell Whisky Fair the full cask of OHD-110 and bottle it at 60%. An ex-port cask, it yielded 120 (and three quarters) bottles. It has been labelled OBWF-2017 and the bottles are individually numbered from 1 to 120.

OHD-110 was distilled on or about 6 May 2011 and settled 2 May 2017, making it just three days shy of six years old and right in that five-to-six year window of when Overeem expressions shine. We understand that this was distilled by Casey Overeem himself.

Colour: Rose Gold
Aroma: Mixed spices, cut dry grass, and coconut. Dried cranberries, dark berries, hints of vanilla
and oak.
Palate: Super complex tannins from the ample oak influence. Blackcurrant, orange, cinnamon,
grapefruit, anise, and red liquorice.
Finish: Barley Sugar and more complex oak.

Cask Number: OHD-100
