Tasting Notes

Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.

Sheep Dip 1990

Country: Scotland

Region:

Type: Blended Malt

Bottler: Spencerfield Spirit Co.

ABV: 40%

Score: 95 Points

This is a rarity, a vatted malt with 19-year-old Dalmore, 21-year-old Fettercairn, and 25-year-old Ardbeg blended under the supervision of Richard Paterson and vatted in ex-bourbon barrels for 15 years! It has the color of a new copper penny, along with a slightly peaty and briny nose that’s balanced well with sweet notes of honey and molasses. The taste is complex and amazing, starting off with molasses and brown sugar notes and a subtle cinnamon/black pepper spice that fades to reveal a lovely smokiness that lingers through the finish. There’s no need to add any water to this classic!
