dekantā is celebrating a decade of championing Japanese whisky and sharing it worldwide. Since launching in 2015, the online retailer has become a trusted authority on Japanese whisky.
Founded with a mission to bring Japan’s whisky heritage to the world, dekantā has spent the past ten years forging partnerships with distilleries, artisans, and independent producers across Japan. From its early days to today, it has aimed to stay true to its founding values of authenticity, craftsmanship and discovery.
One of the hallmarks of dekantā’s approach has been its creative collaborations with Japanese artisans — from traditional lacquerware masters to contemporary designers — resulting in limited-edition bottlings that blend cultural artistry with its whisky.
In 2019, dekantā launched its own independent bottling range. From rare single malts to exclusive blends, these releases aim to showcase its commitment to quality, innovation, and storytelling
dekantā is also known for its Cask Ownership Program. By allowing whisky fans to own their own casks of Japanese whisky, the program offers transparency, secure storage, and expert guidance from one of dekanta’s distillery partners – Karuizawa Whisky Distillery, The Ontake Distillery and Kiyokawa’s Iiyama Mountain Farm Distillery.
“As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we reflect with gratitude on the journey we’ve taken and the community that has supported us,” said Makiyo Masa, Founder & Director of dekantā. “From our valued customers and talented partners to the incredible distilleries and artists we work with, this milestone belongs to all of you. We look forward to continuing our mission of bringing the best whiskies from Japan to the rest of the world.”
To mark the occasion, dekantā is unveiling a celebratory single cask release, crafted at Wakatsuru Saburomaru Distillery. It is aged for over six years in a first-fill bourbon barrel.
dekantā’s Wakatsuru 10th Anniversary is available now for $219.99.
