Six bartenders discovered ingredients from all over the country on their journey and created new cocktails with Dewar's 15-Year in the 'Dewar's Discovery Session 2023' bar event.

Starting from November 3rd, new cocktails will be available at six bars in the city! Additionally, there will be a one-day event where bartenders will discuss the behind-the-scenes of cocktail creation.

Bacardi Japan Co., Ltd. (President, Toshinori Higashi) imports Dewar's, a Scotch whisky brand, and Sapporo Beer Co., Ltd. (President, Hiroyuki Nose) sells it. Dewar's, under the global campaign 'Always With Curiosity,' has been providing users with new discoveries. Since October, in collaboration with six skilled bartenders closely associated with Dewar's, the brand has been implementing the collaborative project 'Dewar’s Discovery Session 2023.' This project is based on encounters with ingredients from various regions across the country and their producers, using them as inspiration to create unprecedented cocktails with Dewar's 15-Year as the base.

During the period from November 3rd (Friday) to December 14th (Thursday), the newly created cocktails from this project will be available at six bars in Tokyo run by the participating bartenders. Over the duration, these six bars will rotate, with each bar offering one newly crafted cocktail for approximately one week. Additionally, each bar will hold a one-day exclusive talk event. Attendees can explore the behind-the-scenes of the creation of these new cocktails by the bartenders, taste the new cocktails, Dewar's 15-Year, and the premium line Double Double 21-Year, and enjoy the world of Dewar's.

Please note that participation in the talk event requires advance purchase tickets. Tickets for the event can be purchased in advance on the 'Dewar's Discovery Session 2023' special website. (Note: In case of high demand, there will be a lottery for ticket allocation.)

■ About Dewar's

Since its inception in 1846 in Scotland, Scotch whisky has been cherished and loved worldwide for over 170 years. Dewar's, created by founder John Dewar, is renowned for its "rich aroma and an incredibly smooth taste, thanks to the double-ageing process." Founded on his sons' "innovative ideas and unwavering beliefs," Dewar's has become a globally recognized whisky brand.

This Scotch whisky is distinguished by a sweet and opulent aroma, created by blending over 40 different spirits, primarily centered around the 15-year-aged Aberfeldy. Its notable feature lies in the "double-ageing process," resulting in an incredibly smooth taste that extends to the very core of the drink.

It offers a depth of flavor that harmonizes sweetness and complexity, achieved through the "4-stage aging process," providing the utmost silk-like smoothness in Dewar's history.
