Encountering a Legendary Bottle That Touches the History of Bourbon

On the 83-tier liquor shelf at "bar83rd," a hidden bar in Bashamichi, Yokohama, the now-legendary bourbon whiskey "J.W. Dant Special Reserve" sits quietly.

A phantom bottle that has long since disappeared from the market and is now rarely seen anywhere. The excitement when we coincidentally managed to unearth it and welcome it to this shelf was truly a special experience known only to bourbon fans. Even after a long passage of time, it is a brand that many enthusiasts continue to talk about and dream of acquiring. The sense of superiority in actually pouring it into a glass and tasting it is irreplaceable by anything else.

Profile of J.W. Dant Special Reserve: Classic Richness and a Rounded Mouthfeel

The name "J.W. Dant" originates from John William Dant, who is said to have started making whiskey during the American pioneering era of the 1800s using specially crafted stills made from hollowed-out logs. It is a traditional brand that continues to maintain passionate fans to this day due to its classic and bold flavor.

This "Special Reserve" is characterized by maintaining the firm richness and toasted aroma unique to bourbon while possessing a somewhat rounded, smooth mouthfeel. It leaves an unforgettable impact once tasted, and every time you tilt the glass, you can experience a sense of touching the deep history of bourbon. We promise passionate fans a sense of nostalgia and emotion, and those encountering it for the first time a striking astonishment of "Was there such a whiskey?"
