Sheep Dip Islay Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml Bottle

Islay Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Bottle size

Sheep Dip is what used to be referred to as a vatted malt: a blend of malt whiskies with no grain element. Crafted by Richard Paterson of Whyte & Mackay for the Spencerfield Spirits Company, the malts used are aged between eight and 12 years old and are from good quality first-fill casks. A variation of the wonderful Sheep Dip Blended Malt Scotch Whisky, made with malt whiskies from the island of Islay. Plenty of classic Islay character runs through its core, and it's still adorned with the picture of a sheep on the label, so all's good here! The name Sheep Dip comes from the olden days when people in the West Country used to make their own whisky and hide it in barrels marked "SD" to avoid paying taxes on it.…

Tasting Notes

Nose

This whisky offers a sizzle of bacon fat, thick clods of peat, cocoa, and breezy smoke on the nose.

Taste

The rounded palate has sweet satsuma, swathes of toasted spice, sweeping malty notes, delicious chocolate, and burnt caramel. The wafting smoke builds formidably, until it engulfs the back of the palate.

Finish

A triumphant, approachable blend that shows great strength of purpose, yet remains full of charm.
