A Scotch with a Japanese finish.

John Dewar Sr. founded the company in 1846. But it was when his two sons — John Dewar Jr. and Thomas Dewar took over the business that it really took off. The lads expanded the brand into a global market leader by the end of the century with attention to detail, a fine product, and quite frankly some brilliant marketing. Along the way they pioneered the technique of "marrying" where a blended Scotch is re-casked to allow for a period of aging together. And there have been a few mergers and acquisitions along the way, but the company is now owned by Bacardi who largely leave them alone to work their magic across six major Scotch and Single Malt brands.

Dewar's 8 Year Old Japanese Smooth Blended Scotch Whisky fuses Scotland with Japan. How? Their 8YO Blended Scotch Whisky is finished in Japanese Mizunara oak casks. This is a harmonious, rich, and full-bodied blend of cinnamon, sandalwood, and floral flavors. Smooth and incredibly approachable, this is a must try for every Whisky lover.
