Dewar’s has launched a new limited edition in honor of Lunar New Year 2026, complete with an exclusive design created for the occasion.
The iconic Scotch whisky maker pairs this festive release with a remarkable milestone: the brand’s 180th anniversary. To mark both the occasion and Chinese New Year, Dewar’s is introducing an exclusive edition of its blended Scotch whiskies: the Dewar’s Double Double Fire Horse Edition.
What is the Dewar’s Double Double Fire Horse Edition?
The Lunar New Year 2026 releases from Dewar’s aren’t new whiskies; it’s the presentation that’s changed. Inside the bottles is the acclaimed Dewar’s whisky you know. There are three expressions: Dewar’s Double Double 20 Year Old, 26 Year Old, and 30 Year Old.
These whiskies arrive in a luxurious limited-edition package created for Chinese New Year. The red box features fireworks in gold and crimson tones, along with white-gold horses whose flowing manes and tails transform into flames.
The design symbolizes prosperity, good fortune, and strength, reflected in the color palette of the packaging.

- Hi Yvonne, Thank you for your response and for sharing the video. Unfortunately, the evidence you referred to consists only of two people talking about the whisky, without any explanation or identification. We have not spoken to the individuals in the video ourselves, nor can we verify who they are. We describe it as a Chinese whisky because it is released by a Chinese distillery. As you mentioned, the distillery has chosen to label the product as “pure malt” instead of “Chinese whisky.” Based on that, we do not believe they are doing anything illegal.M0nkey16-11-2025
