In a world filled with conventions and rules, it had to bend a couple to make it easier for all to enjoy a good whisky in a time when good whisky was a luxury. Sheep Dip is a small batch, handcrafted, premium blended malt Scotch whisky. Inspired by the illicit distilling practiced by farmers of old, it marries together single malt whiskies from around Scotland in an enigmatically refined blend that packs plenty of punch.
Finesse and elegance gives way to a majestic assertion of pure malty flavours drawn from the principal distilling regions of Scotland. Each area forges and makes its own inimitable contribution to this outstanding pure malt blend - the main expressions hailing from the Highlands and Speyside Valleys.
This is a lovely drop of Merlot, demonstrating the wine skills of the Languedoc Roussillon area. I holidayed in the region some years ago and loved their wines - great to see them this side of the world and available. Versatile, easy drinking. So good my neighbour has also bought a case after tasting mine!
