Sheep Dip Blended Malt

Jim Murray describes Sheep Dip as young and sprightly. Sheep Dip is a Blended malt Scotch whisky woven from 16 single malt Scotch whiskies. The name came about because British farmers have long referred to whisky as Sheep Dip. There was a time when farmers distilled their own 'home-made' whisky and in order to avoid paying taxes to the revenue man hid the whisky in barrels marked Sheep Dip.
