Dewar\u2019s has given its double-aged 21-year-old whisky a new finish in mizunara oak casks.<\/p>\n


\nHailing from Japan, mizunara oak is often difficult to acquire and challenging to mould into casks, as the oak takes 200 years to reach maturity and does not grow straight.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dewar\u2019s said, however, that the extra effort needed when working with mizunara was \u2018well worth it\u2019, as the liquid brings a \u2018balance of succulence, purity and smoothness\u2019.<\/p>\n

Bottled at 46% ABV and with notes of sandalwood, coconut and a \u2018sweet clean\u2019 finish that has a \u2018touch of creamy vanilla\u2019, the expression aims to bring the distilling traditions of Japan and Scotland together.<\/p>\n

Stephanie Macleod, master blender for Dewar\u2019s, said: \u201cThe journey of creating this expression has been an exploration of flavours and craftsmanship. Together, my team and I introduced a distinctive twist to our award-winning Dewar\u2019s Double Double 21 Years Old by finishing it in Japanese mizunara oak casks, creating a new and exciting whisky.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThis latest iteration in the Double Double Series is a testament to our commitment to delivering unparalleled experiences to our connoisseurs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The Double Double series launched in 2019 as a global travel retail-exclusive and featured three expressions, which were aged for 21, 27, and 32 years. The 21-year-old was finished in oloroso Sherry casks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The mizunara finish can be picked up for RRP \u00a3119 (US$150).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brian Cox, vice-president of Dewar\u2019s North America, added: \u201cThe unveiling of Dewar\u2019s Double Double 21 Years Old Mizunara is a toast to change and growth.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThis release reflects our steadfast dedication to crafting exceptional whisky experiences that not only bring people together, but also harmonise tradition and innovation.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen enjoying this whisky, let it be a catalyst for shared moments of joy and celebration with friends and family in a timeless toast to the blend of Japanese craftsmanship and Scottish tradition.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
