Sheep Dip Description
Sheep Dip Blended Malt Whisky
Sheep Dip is a small batch, handcrafted, premium blended malt Scotch whisky created by Richard Paterson, Scotland’s only 3rd generation master blender.
Inspired by the illicit distilling practiced by farmers of old, Sheep Dip marries together 16 single malt whiskies in an enigmatically refined blended malt that packs plenty of punch.
Intriguingly Crafted Blended Malt:
We firmly believe that a great whisky needn’t be the product of an individual distillery; nor should its age be a measure of quality.
We use a blend of malt whiskies, each ages in the finest quality, first-fill wooden barrels for between 8 and 21 years. Each malt contributes unique characteristics to produce our exceptional, multi-award winning Sheep Dip Blended Malt Scotch Whisky.
What the Critics Say:
“Young and sprightly like a new-born lamb, this enjoys a fresh, mouth watering grassy style with a touch of spice; maligned by some but to me a clever, accomplished vatting of alluring complexity.” Jim Murray, 2006 Whisky Bible
Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points
The silly name of this delicious, hard-to-put-down blended Scotch supposedly is derived from the days “when farmers hid their home-made whisky from the nosey excise officers in barrels marked ‘Sheep Dip.’” Made with a blend of 16 single malts from the four major whisky regions, this has an intense apple aroma and flavor, overlaid with a faint curl of smoke. The earthy smokiness grows on the finish, with intriguing dry and savory notes, like baker’s chocolate and brine. Pair this with crumbly aged cheeses. (02/2013)
