The Whiskey Reviewer A World of Whiskey, Poured Every Weekday
Dewar’s Scotch Whisky has announced the newest iteration from its award-winning Double Double series, Double Double 21 Year Old Mizunara Oak Cask Finish. This expression brings together the distilling traditions of Japan and Scotland, creating a rare blend that captures the essence of two cultures. Unlike American oak, Mizunara Oak requires more than 200 years to reach maturity and does not grow straight, posing a unique challenge in the process of forming it into casks. However, the extra effort is well worth it, as the liquid results in an intriguing balance of succulence, purity, and smoothness. The captivating amber colored whisky has been bottled at a strength of 46%.
Stephanie Macleod, Master Blender for Dewar’s, said, “The journey of creating this expression has been an exploration of flavors and craftsmanship. Together, my team and I introduced a distinctive twist to our award-winning Dewar’s Double Double 21 Year Old by finishing it in Japanese Mizunara Oak casks, creating a new and exciting whisky. This latest iteration in the Double Double Series is a testament to our commitment to delivering unparalleled experiences to our connoisseurs.”
Available for $149.99, Dewar’s Double Double 21 Year Old Mizunara is available in 750ml bottles at spirits retailers nationwide.
