Founded in 1846 by John Dewar, DEWAR’S is one of the largest Scotch whisky brands in the world- best known for its DEWAR’S White Label. The portfolio today consists of DEWAR’S 12 Years Old, DEWAR’S 15 Years Old, DEWAR’S 18 Years Old, the exclusive DEWAR’S Signature and most recently DEWAR’S Scratched Cask. These whiskies are crafted using the DEWAR’S oak marrying ageing process which involves returning the hand-crafted blend to vintage oak casks for further maturation and a smoother taste with a long, lingering finish. If you’re new to the brand then read on for there is an ‘interesting’ opportunity at London Cocktail Week to immerse yourself in the brand.

For London Cocktail Week DEWAR’S have teamed up with iconic food and drink spaces in London including TT Liquor and The Clove Club to bring chicken and whisky inspired experiences to cocktail lovers. What might whisky and chicken have in common you ask? It’s a theme honouring Tommy Dewar’s obsession with chickens as well as whisky. At The Scotch Egg Club Emporium there are three separate whisky themed rooms located at TT Liquor, bringing to life the tale of Tommy Dewar and his affinity for perfection through pleasure.
