Sheep Dip Old Hebridean 1990

This one has been one my wishlist for a while, because the combination of different quality malts at a respectable age is quite promising. At opening the bottle and pouring myself a glass, the first thing that hits me one the nose is peat. I guess this must be the Ardbeg. Sherry is the second thing on the nose, but after a while it makes room for some sour fruitiness. The first sip also brings that sour taste. In a good way that is. The peat plays a role, but in the background. The overall taste is very smooth and it makes you want to take another sip, mainly because of the fruitiness. The finish is medium, with some orange zest, spices and a little saltiness.

It is a very pleasant whisky, although I was expecting a little more peat on the palate. The score is a guess, since this is my first review. Last note i would like to add is that this whisky should have been bottled at 46% imho.
