Spencerfield Spirit Company

Surrounded by rolling fields of wheat and barley, whilst overlooking the Firth of Forth and monumental Forth Rail Bridge, lies Spencerfield Farmhouse. Steeped in fascinating heritage, the 16th century Fife farmhouse is home to the Spencerfield Spirit Company and its unique, iconoclastic collection of exceptional spirits. Set up by former marketing director of Glenmorangie, and whisky aficionado, Alex Nicol, Spencerfield Spirits prides itself on being a close-knit, family run business. A business where Alex and his wife Jane are whole-heartedly dedicated to providing a quality niche alternative to the more conventional mainstream brands. Their flagship product, the irreverently named, yet seriously flavoursome Sheep Dip was developed in 1970, with it stablemate, the seductively smooth Pig’s Nose being launched three year later. Both award winning whiskies have recently been joined by refreshingly indulgent Edinburgh Gin and the 1990 Old Hebridean, a first vintage for Sheep Dip.

Golden sandy highlights. Clear and bright. The nose is firm and rich with orange peel, toffee and luscious, creamy round tones. On the palate it is gentle and sweet with a touch of spice, and slightly coastal.

Enjoy neat.
