Following a relaxation on the type of casks that can be used to finish Scotch whisky last year, Dewar’s got experimental with mezcal casks for its latest bottling. Dewar’s Ilegal Smooth is made by finishing eight-year-old Dewar’s, which has already been double-aged, in ex-Ilegal Mezcal casks for one month.
Stephanie Macleod, Dewar’s master blender, said: “It’s something we’ve never done before, I don’t think the Scotch whisky industry has released something like this. It’s a beautiful product.”
It is the second cask-finished whisky from Dewar’s following the launch of Caribbean Smooth in 2019
