Sheep Dip
Sheep Dip is a blended malt Scotch whisky known for its unique name and rich, complex flavor. The brand was originally created in the 1970s by Master Blender Richard Paterson, who aimed to craft a whisky that blended the best characteristics of various single malts from different regions of Scotland.
The name "Sheep Dip" comes from an old British farming practice where farmers would hide barrels of whisky from tax collectors by labeling them as "sheep dip," which was a common pesticide used to protect sheep from parasites. This whimsical name reflects the brand’s playful and unpretentious approach to whisky.
Sheep Dip is made by blending several single malts, typically from Speyside, Highland, Islay, and Lowland regions, resulting in a whisky that offers a balanced profile with notes of honey, spice, fruit, and a subtle smokiness. The whisky is known for its smoothness and versatility, making it a favorite among both seasoned whisky drinkers and those new to Scotch.
The brand has gained a loyal following for its quality and distinctive character, standing out in the crowded Scotch whisky market with its blend of tradition and a bit of irreverent charm.
