"The silly name of this delicious, hard-to-put-down blended Scotch supposedly is derived from the days when farmers hid their home-made whisky from the nosey excise officers in barrels marked Sheep Dip. Made with a blend of 16 single malts from the four major whisky regions, this has an intense apple aroma and flavor, overlaid with a faint curl of smoke. The earthy smokiness grows on the finish, with intriguing dry and savory notes, like bakers chocolate and brine. Pair this with crumbly aged cheeses."

"This vatted whisky borrows the term. Made from the blending of 4 different single malt whiskies (one from each major distilling area) with ages ranging from 8 to 12 years old. Peat a whisper of iodine, heather orange,citrus, some floral notes, melons,leather and hints of pipe tobacco. You can pick out the individual regions where the malts came from. At 35 a bottle, it is competitive with Johnny Walker Black Label and much better for the novice. Good as a gift as it covers all the Scotch taste bases - something for everyone." ~ Distillery notes
