Sheep Dip Blended Malt Scotch Whisky is a small-batch, handcrafted premium whisky with a unique name and history. Originally developed in the 1970s by Oldbury pub-owner MJ Dowdeswell, the name "Sheep Dip" hails from British farmers' slang for whisky, used to avoid paying taxes on home-distilled spirits. The recipe incorporates 16 single malt whiskys aged between 8 and 21 years, carefully selected from first-fill casks in the Highland and Speyside regions, and it has remained largely unchanged over the years.
This exceptional whisky is crafted by Richard Paterson, Scotland's only third-generation master blender, and has won multiple gold medals for its quality. The nose is rich with malt and a starchy tone, while the palate is more subdued, featuring citrus notes that balance the malt. It offers a pleasant and easy drinking experience, making it an excellent choice for winding down after a long day.
The packaging and branding of Sheep Dip reflect its unique name while maintaining an air of seriousness and respectability. The golden-colored, vatted malt is a blend of 16 single malt whiskys aged between 8 and 21 years. It is an ideal whisky to enjoy at the end of a long day in the fields, rather than a beverage to cap off a gourmet feast.
