Project Description
Silkie Irish Whiskey
- 70 cl, 40% vol.
- Producer : Sliabh Liag Distillery
- Country : Ireland
The Silkie is the first step in our ambitious journey. While we build our whiskey distillery, we have sourced a blend of malt and grain with a higher aged malt percentage than most blends. Malts are aged up to 8 years and finished in Sherry casks.
The exceptionally smooth liquid with its rich sweet taste and gentle finish is as beguiling as the Silkies – legendary shape shifting seals – found along the Donegal coast who became irresistibly beautiful women when they came ashore to dance on the Silver Strand.
Colour: Straw gold with hints of amber.
Nose : Fresh and malty, brisk like green apples, opens to be more honeyed with a gentle butteryness.
Taste : Super soft, honey to the fore, bright, hints of orange zest, digestive biscuits, brioche, butterscotch and stem ginger.
Finish : Warming, elegant and gently melts away.
