The Legendary Dark Silkie Irish Whiskey

Produced by Sliabh Liag Distillers in County Donegal, Ireland, The Legendary Dark Silkie is a smoky blended Irish whiskey inspired by the peated whiskeys historically associated with Donegal. At its core is triple-distilled peated single malt, with the malt originally peated to 55 ppm before distillation, blended with double-distilled unpeated single malt and soft grain whiskey. The components are matured across sherry, bourbon and virgin oak casks, creating a rich combination of smoke, dark sweetness and spice. It is bottled at 46% ABV and non-chill filtered.

Food Pairing: Smoked meats, dark chocolate, salted caramel desserts, roasted nuts, mature cheddar, or slow-cooked beef with a rich glaze.

Tasting Notes: Rich amber with tobacco-gold tones, offering a soft yet smoky profile built around dark sweetness, fruit, oak and warming spice.

Nose: Fresh apple and pear mingle with sweet pipe tobacco, seasoned oak and the dry, comforting aroma of peat smoke.

Palate: Soft and rounded, developing salted caramel, dark chocolate and liquorice alongside warm toffee, ripe pear, oak, leather and dry spicy smoke.

Finish: Warming and lingering, with smoky malt and a distinctive nutty character gradually fading into gentle spice.

Serve: Enjoy neat in a Glencairn or tulip-shaped glass to appreciate its peat and sweeter flavours, or serve over ice for a softer expression.
