Sheep Dip Tasting note

By Miguel at 2011 Aug,19 in Tasting , Sheep Dip

“Excellent nose.”

A great whisky made from 16 malt whiskies aged from 8 to 21 years. Jim Murray describes Sheep Dip as "young and sprightly". 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.

This dram has a cooper-like color.

Nose (91): strong. Fruits, honey, vanilla, tobacco, wood.

Palate (88): light. fruits, wood, floral, honey, a littlevanilla.

Finish (87): longer than average. floral, wood, a bitcocoa.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Sheep Dip with 89 points over 100.
