Overeem Distillery "Man of Promise Reserve" Single Malt Australian Whisky (700ml) - 2021 Release

An annual release made up of three exceptional port casks, hand-selected and married together by distillery founder, Casey Overeem. The series celebrates the promise Casey made to himself almost four decades ago. In a cousin's basement, somewhere in a small town in Norway, Casey had his first distilling experience. An already avid single malt whisky fan, then and there he promised to one day craft a single malt whisky that he could enjoy alongside the great whiskies of the world, hence this release always carries big expectations. Indeed, the first edition was voted Best Australian Single Malt Whisky by Ozwhisky review in 2020. Once again, this (conveniently) tastes like Christmas. Presented at an approachable 50%. Very limited stocks.
