About This Whisky
The Overeem Very Old Port Casks Australian Single Malt Whisky is a Club-exclusive release celebrating Overeemās 20th Anniversary. Fully matured in a tiny parcel of 50+ year old ex-Barossa Valley Port casks, this Tasmanian single malt showcases the rich fortified wine influence that has long defined the Overeem house style.
These historic South Australian Tawny Port casks impart layers of fruit, spice and dark sweetness into Overeemās multi-award-winning single malt spirit. Bottled without chill filtration at 49.8% ABV, the whisky displays deep natural colour and a richly textured flavour profile shaped by decades-seasoned casks.
This limited small batch bottling highlights the connection between Tasmaniaās pioneering single malt whisky scene and Australiaās historic fortified wine traditions.
