Recognised as one of the ‘original’ Tasmanian single malts, the Overeem whisky journey began in 2005 when local whisky enthusiast Casey Overeem was seeking a hobby to occupy his time in retirement. Founded upon a promise 'to one day craft a single malt whisky that would stand alongside the best in the world' Casey made some 25 years earlier, he began distillation in a custom made still house at his suburban property in 2007.

In 2014 Casey sold the distillery to a group of local Tasmanian investors and quietly ‘re-entered’ retirement, content that his lifelong promise, spanning some 30+ years, had been fulfilled.

In 2020, Overeem Whisky was remarkably sold to Jane and Mark, effectively returning the Distillery back to its founding family. Over the past 4 years, the brand has grown from strength to strength, winning multiple national and international awards, significantly increasing production, sales, brand awareness, and employing a small team of industry professionals that have fully adopted and are continually motivated by the same founding principles that once inspired Casey.
