Just 25 bottles remain of the collector’s edition first release of Tasmanian distiller Overeem’s Bourbon Cask Matured Single Malt Whisky.
Adding to Overeem’s existing portfolio of sherry and port matured whiskies, the first release collector’s edition became available on December 1.

Overeem marketing and distribution manager Jane Overeem told TheShout the second release bourbon cask matured will be available early next year.
Meanwhile, Overeem has recently secured a UK distributor to introduce its malts to that market.
Toby Dudfield and Jonah Costello of Oak Cask Distribution reportedly fell in love with the Overeem collection after tasting a sample, and are determined to share the Tasmanian distiller’s output with the rest of the country.
