The Legendary Dark Silkie Irish Whiskey is a remarkable tribute to the long-cherished tradition of rich, smoky whiskeys. A product of the tireless efforts of Sliabh Liag Distillers, it's a testament to the hidden labyrinth of whiskey distilling history engrained into the rugged landscapes of Donegal County, located in the captivating Northwest of Ireland. Brimming with ambition and a deep-rooted respect for heritage, Sliabh Liag Distillers embarked on a journey to reclaim this old-world craft while building their distillery.
Masterfully blending the finest double and triple distilled malts, and a sublime grain whiskey, the skill and craftsmanship behind the Legendary Dark Silkie are evident. It's not merely a whiskey, but a meticulously crafted blend brought to life by the extraordinary skills of Master Blender James Daugherty, who carefully intertwines these whiskeys using Sliabh Liag's exclusive recipe.
Uniquely, Irish peat is incorporated in the production, which significantly differs from its Scottish counterpart. Primarily heather-based, Irish peat bestows a softer oak touch and delicate sweetness into the whiskey. It's this perfect balance of smoky intensity and sweet subtlety that sets the Legendary Dark Silkie apart from the crowd.
Offering a distinctively unfiltered blend, the Legendary Dark Silkie gives a rich, buttery texture paired with complex layers of smokiness, leading to an unparalleled whiskey experience. This transcendent whiskey can entice even the most casual whiskey drinkers to venture into wonderful, unexplored territories.
