The Tasmanian Devil, You Say!
Until recently, you haven’t been able to get Overeem single malt in sherry cask, port cask or any other kind of cask from Tasmania unless you actually lived Down Under. But, now, if you live in the UK and are lucky – very lucky – you might be able to get your hands wrapped around the neck of one of the few bottles that Old Hobart Distillery will begin shipping to the UK. Having just opened in 2005, the small distillery produces only 8000 bottles per month and most of that stay south of the Equator. But Old Hobart has decided to ship both versions of its sherry matured and port matured [at 43% alcohol and 60% alcohol, respectively] to the UK.
If you do not live in the UK or are unable to scuttle across the pond fast enough to get some of the Overeem booty while it’s there, you can always order directly from the Old Hobart Distillery site where the four bottlings will run you anywhere from $132 to $170 [not counting freight charges].
