When a legacy Scotch house meets the sacred oak of Japan, the result is something quietly revolutionary. Dewar’s Japanese Smooth bridges continents and craft, blending traditional double aged Scotch with the aromatic elegance of Mizunara oak, a cask so rare, it’s practically a rite of passage for master blenders.

Dewar’s Japanese Smooth Mizunara Oak Cask Finish 70cl
Brand: Dewar’s | Category: Blended Scotch Whisky | ABV: 40% | Origin: Scotland (with Japanese oak influence) | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile
Nose: Fragrant and layered, incense, ripe melon, and vanilla unfold gently, like the scent of a Kyoto tea house after rain.
Palate: Silky and refined. Dewar’s signature honeyed malt now accented with sandalwood, coconut, and delicate spice from the Mizunara oak.
Finish: Lingering and exotic, warm, woodsy, and subtly sweet, leaving a whisper of smoke and spice.

Production Details
After Dewar’s signature double aging process, the whisky is finished in Mizunara oak casks sourced from Japan. These slow-growing trees produce porous barrels that impart complex, sandalwood-like character, making each sip a sensory blend of East and West.

Perfect For
Candlelit dinners, rooftop sips, or gifting to someone who appreciates both tradition and innovation. It’s a conversation starter in every pour.

Interesting Fact

Serving Suggestions
Enjoy neat to experience the full complexity, or with a splash of water to bring out the sandalwood and spice. For a modern twist, try it in a whisky highball with chilled soda and a lemon peel.
