Description
The Sheep Dip blended malt Scotch whisky is a sophisticated, Scottish blended malt composed of a total of 16 different single malts from four major whisky regions in Scotland – Highlands, Lowlands, Speyside and Islay. With an alcohol content of 40% by volume, this whisky offers a harmonious yet multi-faceted flavour experience that will delight both beginners and experienced connoisseurs. Maturation takes place in first-fill oak casks over a period of up to 12 years, which gives the blend additional depth and complexity.
The unusual name “Sheep Dip” comes from earlier times when farmers registered their home production of whisky under the disguise name “Sheep Dip” (a means of delousing sheep) in order to avoid taxes. Today, the name is a charming relic reminiscent of Scotland’s traditional and creative whisky history.
This blended malt is bottled by Spencerfield Spirit Company, which stands for quality craftsmanship and independent production. The bottle comes in high-quality gift packaging and is ideal as an original gift or as a versatile treat for whisky lovers.
