Cask OD1000 is a milestone release in Overeem Distillery's 20-year journey. Limited in its availability, this whisky is a tribute to the distillery's commitment to excellence and deep understanding of the fine art of single-cask whisky releases.
In 2018 we journeyed to the heart of the Barossa Valley, in search of a cask worthy of marking a milestone. Amidst the rolling vineyards and storied cooperates we found a barrel steeped in character and provenance.
Carefully selected, broken down and meticulously recoopered, this cask was prepared for a singular purpose.
Now after years of patient maturation, Cask 1000 is ready. A celebration of craft, place and legacy bottled in tribute to the journey that brought us here.
Distillers Notes:
'The extended maturation has allowed the rich complexity of this hand-selected fortified cask to evolve into something moody, savoury, and deeply expressive. Rarely seen in an Overeem release, the nose opens with bold notes of char, earth, and leather, subtly lifted by a whisper of Tasmanian highland peat. With time in the glass, classic Overeem port cask hallmarks emerge — toffee, raisin, and warm spice.
On the palate, layers of tobacco, leather, and black pepper offer a savoury backbone, beautifully interplaying with the sweetness of dried fruits, orange marmalade, and honeycomb. The texture is viscous and chewy, delivering a luxurious mouthfeel and long, contemplative finish. While it responded well to dilution, we unanimously agreed this whisky shines brightest at cask strength. A rare piece of Tasmanian whisky history — to be truly savoured, enjoy.'
