Worldwide Delivery in 3-10 Days. Direct To Your Door.

At dekanta, we’re passionate about spreading the love we have for Japanese whisky and that means making a huge selection of the best expressions from across our beautiful country accessible to the masses.

Over the years we’ve worked hard to set-up intricate and punctual distribution networks right around the globe, so that you can get your hands on the incredible whisky that Japan’s master distillers and master blenders have worked tirelessly to create.

Whether it’s whisky from the big names like Yamazaki, Hakushu, Hibiki, Yoichi or Chichibu you’re after, or Ji-whisky from our smaller producers like Akashi, Nagahama and Fuji Gotemba, we’ll deliver their outstanding (often award-winning) whiskies direct to your front door – that’s our guarantee.

You can find all delivery time frames below. In very rare instances, in certain countries, bottles may be stopped at customs and receive a slight delay, but we regularly communicate with all local authorities to ensure that this is not a regular occurrence.
