Description

Sheep Dip is a blended malt Scotch whisky, originally bottled by M.J. Dowdeswell & Co. Ltd. in the 1970s, with this particular 8-year-old expression being a 1980s bottling. It is made from a blend of 16 single malts from Scotland's four major whisky regions (Lowland, Highland, Speyside, and Islay), aged for at least eight years. The name is inspired by the traditional practice of farmers hiding homemade whisky in barrels marked 'Sheep Dip' to avoid taxes.

Nose
Soft and creamy with fragrant pear and melon sweetness, honeyed toffee, subtle earthy peat, baking brioche, vanilla, and lemon curd.
Palate
Sweet, malty, and biscuity with caramel, orange fruity flavors, subtle wood influence, a touch of smoke, and a dash of pepper.
Finish
Medium length, smooth, and slightly warming, with lingering notes of malt, gentle smoke, faint toffee sweetness, and a modestly peppered afterglow.
