Don’t be fooled by the playful name, Sheep Dip is a whisky with serious pedigree. Inspired by an old farming tradition of hiding whisky from the taxman in barrels marked “Sheep Dip,” this blended malt is a clever nod to the ingenuity of rural Scotland. Beneath its rustic charm lies a sophisticated union of single malts from some of the country’s most respected distilleries.
