About this SPIRIT
Old Hobart Distillery
Founded by Casey Overeem, Old Hobart Distillery is a small family business, located in the south of Tasmania and is home to Overeem Whiskey. Casey acquired a distiller’s license for Old Hobart in 2005, and production started in 2007.
Casey started experimenting with distillation of whiskey in the 1980s, and during that time built up his knowledge and skill, before going on to open the distillery. After he had secured a license, he visited a number of Scottish distilleries to gain more experience in the process of distilling.
The majority of the whiskey is aged in Sherry and Port casks for added flavour. One whiskey, Port Cask Matured Overeem Single Malt, has been given a Liquid Gold award by author of The Whiskey Bible, Jim Murray.

Description
A family run business, Overeem was born when the eponymous Casey visited a relative in Norway in the early 1980s and discovered many people had micro-distilleries in their homes. Interest piqued he returned to Australia and decided to turn his hobby into a career. Having been matured in ex-Bourbon barrels the Whisky is lighter in colour than many others.
On the nose there is sweet vanilla notes, fruit and apple notes. On the palate there is a gentle floral note, with more obvious flavours of apples and pears. This is all complimented with a spicy, long finish.
