Dewars Dewars Blended Scotch Japanese Smooth Mizunara Oak Cask Finish 8 year 750 ml

Dewar's Japanese Smooth is an 8 year old blended Scotch whisky finished in Mizunara oak casks, the rare Japanese oak prized in Japanese whisky production for the incense, sandalwood, and coconut notes it imparts. Dewar's builds its blends around double-aging in the traditional "marrying" style before the finishing step, giving the whisky a smooth, well-integrated base of honey and light fruit before the Mizunara cask adds its distinctive spice and incense character. The finish is soft and aromatic rather than heavy, a departure from Dewar's usual house style. It suits drinkers curious about Mizunara's influence without stepping up to a full Japanese whisky price point.

How to drink Dewar's Japanese Smooth Mizunara Cask Finish

Try it neat first to catch the Mizunara oak's incense and spice notes, which fade quickly once diluted. If you'd rather mix it, a Highball — whisky and soda over ice — is the traditional way Mizunara-finished whisky is served in Japan and won't bury the cask character.
