Sheep Dip Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Golden with copper highlights, the Sheep Dip Blended Whisky has a beautifully delicate and refined nose. Soft, sensual floral notes arise in perfect harmony, supported by a charming array of delicious fruit flavours.  Nuances of melon, pear and orange can be identified before a hint of almond on the finish. The palate? Even better: Finesse and elegance gives way to a majestic assertion of pure malty flavours drawn from the principal distilling regions of Scotland.  Each area forges and makes its own inimitable contribution to this outstanding pure malt blend - the main expressions hailing from the Highlands and Speyside Valleys

"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 whiskies, each aged in the finest quality, first-fill wooden barrels for between eight and twenty-one years. Every malt contributes unique characteristics to produce our exceptional, multi-award winning blended Sheep Dip whisky.
British farmers have long referred to whisky as ‘sheep dip’. This harks back to an era when farmers distilled their own ‘homemade’ whisky and hid it in barrels marked ‘sheep dip’ to avoid paying tax on their illicitly produced alcohol.
Farmers’ merchants continued the tradition by entering cases of whisky as ‘sheep dip’ on the farmers’ bills, thus ‘pulling the wool’ over the eyes of the tax man and the farmers’ wives!"
