Sheep Dip Scotch

Summary: Sheep Dip despite its iconoclastic name is a genuinely great whiskey; the name came about because British farmers have long referred to whiskey as Sheep Dip. There was a time when farmers distilled their own home-made whiskey and in order to avoid paying taxes to the revenue man hid the whiskey in barrels marked Sheep Dip. Farmers’ merchants continued this tradition by entering cases of whiskey as Sheep Dip on farmers’ bills and so pulling the wool over the farmer’s wives eyes. 40% ABV 80 Proof What makes Sheep Dip Different?
