The Sheep Dip Islay blended malt Scotch whisky is a powerful homage to the traditional whisky region of Islay, known for its smoky, peaty single malts. With an alcohol content of 40% vol. and bottled in a classic 0.7-litre bottle, this blended malt whisky combines various Islay distillates to create a harmonious overall profile with maritime depth and smoky intensity.

The unusual name "Sheep Dip" is a nod to earlier times when farmers used to declare their home-distilled whiskies as pesticides for sheep to avoid paying tax. Today, Sheep Dip stands for honest, handcrafted whisky with character, and the Islay Edition is aimed at fans of peaty drops with complexity.

The marriage of several Islay single malts creates notes of campfire smoke, smoked malt, salty sea air and dark spices, which are harmoniously embedded and offer an accessible but intense Islay style.

Tasting Note

Colour: Golden yellow with light amber.

Nose: Smoky and maritime with peat, salt, iodine, citrus and roasted grain.

Flavour: Full-bodied with strong smoke, ash, pepper, malt and subtle sweet notes.

Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to develop the smoky Islay character. Even on ice, the Sheep Dip Islay does not lose its expression and is suitable for connoisseurs who appreciate peated whiskies with maritime depth and a spicy profile. Ideal as an introduction to the world of smoky Islay malts, as a component of whisky tastings or as a gift for friends of classic Scotch styles. It pairs particularly well with grilled meat, smoked cheese or dark chocolate. A smoky blended malt with history, soul and plenty of character.
