Dewar's Ilegal Smooth Blended Scotch Whisky is double-aged for extra smoothness and then finished in Ilegal Mezcal casks for extra flavour. This whisky is the first ever Scotch Whisky to be finished in a Mezcal cask, leading the way to new flavours of caramel, sliced green pepper and a wisp of smoke. Enjoy this Scotch Whisky in your favorite whisky glass in delicious alcohol drinks like an Old Fashioned and Toasted Citrus Highball cocktail.

Dewar’s Ilegal Smooth is an exciting new blended whisky and the second in an innovative cask series from the iconic whisky maker. It is crafted from an 8-year-old blended Scotch Whisky, double-aged, and finished in casks that previously held Ilegal Reposado and Anejo Mezcal for a pleasantly unexpected sweet, smoky and smooth flavour.

Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery undertones and a warm, burnished glow.

Nose

Caramel sweetness leads the aroma, complemented by crisp sliced green pepper and a delicate wisp of smoke from the Mezcal cask finish.

Palate

Silky and generous, this eight-year blend is double-aged for exceptional smoothness and finished in Mezcal casks. Caramel sweetness leads, then crisp green pepper notes and a delicate wisp of smoke. The mouthfeel is creamy and polished, with a light spice that carries into a softly smoky, lingering finish.

Finish

Silky, caramel-sweet on the finish, with a delicate kiss of green pepper and a gentle mezcal smoke from the cask. It lingers warmly, lightly peppered and refined by smoke, inviting the next sip with a polished, enduring fade.

Dewar’s is a blended Scotch whisky founded in Perth in 1846 by John Dewar, who began as a wine and spirits merchant before building one of Scotland’s best-known whisky names. The business grew strongly under his sons, John Alexander Dewar and Tommy Dewar, with Tommy’s international travels helping take Dewar’s into export markets during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
