Sheep Dip's Islay malt whisky is a unique blend of several single Islay malt whiskies, all of them distilled and matured on the southernmost Hebridean island of Islay, one of Scotland's oldest centres of distilling. On nosing its typical smoky character is derived from drying the barley over a traditional peat fire, prior to distilling. On tasting, you will notice the distinctive presence of iodine, seaweed, and salt which comes from its long maturation in oak barrels next to the Atlantic ocean. When drinking, add a small splash of spring water to open up all this whisky has to offer.

Critic reviews and blind-tasting competition results for this bottle.
… 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 baker's chocolate and brine.
This one offers the sizzle of bacon fat, thick clods of peat, cocoa, and breezy smoke. The rounded palate has sweet satsuma, spice, generous malty notes, and burnt caramel. … You will be wanting one of these.
Plunge into a pool of honey, orange, mango, vanilla, and sugary-sweet candy, shot through with little darts of spice. The finish is relatively short, with sweet pastries and light pepper, but I think ewe will like this.
Deftly blending the power and grace of popular Islay malts … A triumphant, approachable blend that shows great strength of purpose, yet remains full of charm.
Very classic Highland flavors - touch of toffee, some orange zest, vanilla and earthy espresso. … Nice intro blend that would be great for hot toddies and other cocktails, though it's perfectly fine to sip neat or with some ice.
A complex nose with fresh fruit, candied citrus peel, peat, and soft butterscotch. The approachable palate is creamy with soft fruit and developing spice.
