Sheep Dip 16 Year Old 20cl

Sheep Dip was first bottled by a gentleman farmer and publican as his in-house whisky around 1974. The pub was in Oldbury on Severn, and as its popularity grew with the locals, so the small concern of MJ Dowdeswell & Co Ltd grew. It eventually managed to supply the likes of Fortnum & Mason.

The recipe of 16 Highland and Speyside malts is said to have stayed the same since its inception, and although it doesn’t carry an age statement, it’s claimed the malts used are up to 20 years old. Despite the use of mature whiskies, Sheep Dip is still a sprightly blended malt. Allegedly, its moniker was selected to ensure West Country farmers could put invoices for cases of it through their books without their accountants noticing.

The Original Oldbury Sheep Dip, was an 8-year-old blend of 16 single malts and still adheres to the same recipe today.
