Portrait: What makes The Legendary Ruby Silkie special

The Legendary Ruby Silkie - Ruby Port Cask Finish adds a new, fascinating facet to the Silkie Irish Whiskey range. This bottling deliberately departs from the geographical focus on Donegal and instead pursues an innovative approach: Maturation in select ruby ​​port casks adds new dimensions to the Silkie's signature profile.
The different cask types used in production significantly shape the character of this whiskey, lending it a special depth and an elegant, rose-gold shimmer.
Bottled at 46% ABV and without chill filtration, the Ruby Silkie represents naturalness, artisanal precision, and a modern approach to Irish whiskey tradition.
It embodies Sliabh Liag Distillers' philosophy of breaking new ground through creative cask selection and finely tuned blends - without losing touch with the brand's history and identity. A whiskey for explorers and connoisseurs.
