Fine dram of success
AUSTRALIA’S only female distiller, Jane Overeem of Blackmans Bay, says Tasmania’s whisky is the best in the world.
Her family business Old Hobart Distillery is Tasmania’s newest whisky distillery but has already won a number of international awards for its product.
Ms Overeem, 25, started distilling whisky with her father, Casey, in 2007.
The Old Hobart Distillery was launched in December last year and has been selling whisky to local, interstate and international markets ever since.
