Portrait: What makes The Legendary Red Silkie special
The Legendary Red Silkie is an Irish whiskey from Sliabh Liag Distillers that reflects the rich storytelling tradition and closeness to nature of the Donegal region.
Named after the legendary Silkie mermaids, the Red Silkie represents warmth, passion, and the deep cultural roots of northwest Ireland.
The red version of the Silkie whiskey is distinguished by a special cask aging process that elegantly refines the whiskey's profile. Sliabh Liag Distillers' goal is to revive the whiskey tradition in Donegal—a region once known for its bold, characterful whiskeys.
Red Silkie is part of this mission, bringing the soul of ancient recipes into a modern, artisanal product.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this whiskey represents Irish identity, storytelling, and the interplay of myth, nature, and human devotion.
Tasting Notes: This is how The Legendary Red Silkie tastes like
- Nose: spicy aromas with the sweetness of red berries, with distinct strawberries and sandalwood, a hint of nutmeg, and dried apple slices
- Palate: aromatic and sweet, again the strawberries, then fresh jam and notes of Earl Grey tea - behind them, hints of wine and oak tannins
- Finish: sweet and smoky on the finish - again the tannins
