Overeem Distillers Reserve 12yo Bourbon Cask OD-057

Description

Now for something very special.  From the hands of Mr Casey Overeem comes this exceptional 12yo Australian whisky.  And I don’t use the word exceptional lightly as there are precious few Aussie malts that can claim an age statement and pedigree such as this special offering.

From daughter Ms Jane Overeem, “We can’t quite put into words just how excited we are to share these special whiskies with you.  It has truly been a wonderful journey.

In 2009 Founder, Casey Overeem filled his first ever 200 litre ex-Bourbon casks from Heaven Hill Distillery, Kentucky.Over the course of the next 12 months, Casey filled another 5.  A total of 6 casks that he planned on maturing for at least 10 years.

‘See you in 2020’ he had said, as he rolled them into the bond store”.

The official notes read, “OHD-057 showcases summer fruits and sweet pudding, in an incredibly well-balanced display of malt, spirit and cask. Presented at 46% abv, this wonderfully soft and oily spirit offers a silky mouthfeel and a finish that keeps giving. Perfect for the Australian summer ahead, this single cask, single malt whisky offers both layers of complexity to be analysed and critiqued, yet also a simplicity that is easily enjoyed”.
