It had always been an ambition of mine to produce a really top quality gin, and we launched Edinburgh Gin in 2010, originally with a small distillery in Edinburgh’s Rutland Place, which also has visitor facilities. We now have a second, larger distillery in Edinburgh as well, and are really getting lots of traction with the brand. The Original Oldbury Sheep Dip, as it was known, was an 8-year-old blend of 16 single malts and still adheres to the same recipe today.

Balance: Good idea but something falls short in execution. Sheep Dip is too flat without personality. Farmers merchants continued this tradition by entering cases of whisky as Sheep dip on farmers bills and so pulling the wool over the farmers wives eyes. Although I enjoy gin, whisky is still my favourite drink. There’s so much variety and it’s in my blood. I love Glenmorangie, Springbank, The Macallan and Highland Park– a great whisky. I’m also partial to Glengoyne, and I always get an interesting bottle of it from my mate Leonard [Russell, managing director of Glengoyne owner Ian Macleod Distillers] every Christmas. With Water: A few drops of water make the licorice/anise note more piercing, now smelling more like cardamom. Other than that, no change except for a slightly sweeter root beer note on the finish. I don’t see a reason to bother with water for this dram.The Service has been prepared by us solely for information purposes to Members and the Service is based on information we consider reliable and we obtain the contents of the Service from a number of different third party sources (including Contributions), but we do not endorse, support, represent, warrant or guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of the Services and any information therein. Sheep Dip, thankfully, tastes nothing like sheep dip. Its moniker was selected to ensure West Country farmers could put invoices for cases of it through their books without their accountants noticing. Allegedly. Nose: Astringent note of lemon furniture polish assaults the nose first, with a musty overtone. By God this actually smells like sheep dip (or more likely sheep as my memories of sheep-related smells are in the distant past). No, that’s not a good thing. Lanolin (another sheep-related smell) and dry fungal – almost sulfury – malt arrive next. A rest in the glass dissipates these, leaving some pretty standard ex-bourbon notes of light caramel, nougat, honey, and vanilla. Finish: Short. Licorice again, and a fading bitterness, including some oaky mouth-drying tannins. Fades without much else.
