A splendid blended malt, Sheep Dip is comprised of over a dozen Scotch single malts that have been matured for at least five years in a variety of first-fill sherry, first-fill bourbon, and refill oak casks. Great retro packaging too. The only thing is, the picture of the sheep on the bottle doesn't actually look like a sheep, it actually looks like an angry spaniel with horns.
Fragrant with notes of the coast, tangy, malty, honey, toffee. Youthful.
Rich, warming, malty, young and spirity.
Punchy, tangy.
For a vatted malt you would expect a little more complexity, and the obvious over use of coloring is a turn off, but it is definitely tasty.
I received a bottle of Sheep Dip as a birthday gift. Never one to turn a blind eye to an unknown, I gave it a try tonight. Dang - not bad. Far smoother than I expected, decent flavor. A bit on the light side, my first thought was, "where's the body?" Regardless, an easy sip. Something to consider for a generic house Scotch. Sent
The reviewer wrote --> Jim Murray describes Sheep Dip as "young and sprightly". Obviously he's hung up on the fact that it's a malted scotch and not a sacret single malt, typical single malt snob. Anyway, nothing could be farther from the truth, it does NOT taste "young" not in the least. It's a great scotch better than most single malts twice the price, these reviewrs are bimbos (at best)
An absolutely classic example of why young vatted malts are things of beauty. Sheep Dip is quite unlike anything I've ever tasted before, it's surprising and exciting, a fresh, sprightly, grassy young-tasting whisky. I'd recommend it to anyone, from the whisky novice to the connoisseur.
great taste, very smooth, will definatly buy again
