"Normally 60% of a Whiskey's flavor comes from the wood. This is enhanced even more by the aging period, so the Master Distiller decided to place this blend in Japanese Mizunara oak casks to finish their maturation. This specific cask finishing beautifully complements the classic Dewar's house style, creating a complex, yet harmonious blend. A blend of over 40 single malt and grain whiskies are distilled, aged for 8 years before being finished for up to 6 months in Mizunara oak casks." Tasting Notes
