Bottled at 46% ABV and without chill filtration, the Red Silkie represents authenticity and artisanal precision. The combination of Irish distilling and French cask aging gives it a multi-layered identity that is both smooth and surprisingly rich. The Legendary Red Silkie is thus more than a whiskey - it is a cultural bridge and a delight for those seeking depth and refinement.
