The Overeem Nanook X "Untamed" is a limited-edition Tasmanian single malt whisky from Old Hobart Distillery in Hobart, presented as an exceptional marriage of Overeem single malt aged in casks from Aurora Spirit Distillery — the world's northernmost whisky distillery, located above the Arctic Circle in Norway. It's named after Nanook X, the sustainably-retrofitted sailing vessel that carried polar explorer Dr Geoff Wilson and his son Kitale on Project Zero, a two-year, carbon-neutral voyage from Patagonia to Antarctica and the Arctic, documenting climate change across the planet's most vulnerable regions. "Untamed" is the second half of a two-whisky release — "Two Whiskies, One Journey" — offering a bolder, wilder counterpart to its sibling expression, "Tamed."

Why Choose Overeem Nanook X "Untamed"?

This release carries a genuinely rare, real-world story rather than a marketing concept — Nanook X is an actual boat, and Dr Geoff Wilson is a real polar explorer with the record for the longest unsupported polar journey in human history, who spent two years sailing this vessel from the Gold Coast of Australia to Patagonia, Antarctica and the Arctic Circle as part of Project Zero, a climate-awareness expedition undertaken with his son Kitale. Overeem's collaboration ties directly into that journey: casks from Aurora Spirit Distillery, based above the Arctic Circle in Lyngseidet, Norway and marketed as the world's northernmost whisky producer, were paired with Overeem's own Tasmanian single malt — genuinely connecting whisky made at opposite ends of the globe within a single release. As the counterpart to "Tamed," "Untamed" represents the wilder, more intense expression of that same pole-to-pole story, giving collectors the option to chase both halves of a genuinely unique two-bottle narrative. Overeem has built a devoted cult following in the Australian whisky world, and a release this conceptually ambitious — with real expedition provenance behind it — is exactly the kind of limited whisky serious Tasmanian collectors seek out.
