Dewars Mizunara 8Yr - Item Code: 04892
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Dewar’s Mizunara 8 Year offers a smooth, approachable sip that feels right at home during relaxed gatherings or as a thoughtful gift for whisky enthusiasts. With an ABV of 40%, this blended Scotch whisky is crafted in Scotland and finished in rare Japanese Mizunara oak casks, which imparts a unique character to its classic profile.
On the palate, you’ll find gentle notes of honey, vanilla, and subtle spice layered with hints of coconut and sandalwood from the Mizunara finish. These flavors make it an excellent companion for sushi, where its delicate sweetness complements fresh fish and umami-rich rice. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheddar, as the whisky’s creamy texture and nuanced oakiness balance the cheese’s sharpness for a harmonious tasting experience.

Scotch whiskey, a distinguished spirit originating from Scotland, is primarily made from malted barley for single malts and grains for blended varieties. This iconic drink undergoes a meticulous distillation process using pot stills for single malts and column stills for grain whiskies, followed by an aging period of at least three years in oak casks, often previously used for bourbon or sherry. The result is a diverse range of flavors and aromas that reflect the unique characteristics of its regions of origin.
Single malt Scotch typically boasts rich and complex flavors with notes of fruit, spice, smoke, peat, and oak, while blended Scotch offers a smoother profile with balanced hints of caramel, vanilla, and light smoke. The texture can vary significantly—from smooth and creamy to rich and oily—depending on the style. Scotch whiskey is versatile in its consumption; it can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks and serves as a key ingredient in classic cocktails like the Rob Roy or Blood & Sand.
