The Legendary Dark Silkie Blended Irish Whiskey Review

A Donegal Whiskey That Uniquely Captures the Drama, Flavour and Magic of the Sea

Following in the footsteps of the multi-award-winning Silkie Irish Whiskey, The Dark Silkie is the latest addition to the Sliabh Liag Distillers list of locally produced spirits. Dark Silkie contains a core of triple distilled peated single malt whiskey which has been matured in ex-sherry casks. It has been expertly blended with a double distilled single malt which was matured in bourbon barrels. Then balanced with soft grain whiskey which was finished in virgin oak casks.

Teeling Blackpitts Peated Single Malt Whiskey Review

Teeling Blackpitts Peated Single Malt Whiskey Review

An Unconventional Irish Whiskey
Rising From The Ashes

Blackpitts Peated Single Malt Whiskey is inspired by the old ancient Blackpitts area just behind the Teeling Whiskey Distillery. Blackpitts was the traditional home to some of the largest barley malting houses in Dublin, Ireland. By using smoke from peat to dry the barley during the malting process, the resulting peated malt produces a distinctive smoky taste profile which is the signature of a Peated Single Malt.

The Legendary Silkie Blended Irish Whiskey Review

The Legendary Silkie Blended Irish Whiskey Review

The Wild Atlantic Way is thriving & The Sliabh Liag Distillery in Donegal has brought craft whiskey back after an absence of 175 years.

Here on The Whiskey Trail we always say “Every Whiskey Tells a Story” this is an understatement when talking about Sliabh Liag and Silkie Whiskey. Just as Donegal is often thought of as a place apart, the Sliabh Liag brands are intentionally challenging and seeking to be very different. The philosophy is simple: liquids and recipes which rely on strong local provenance and are worth talking about; striking designs that challenge conventional codes; to root each brand in a traditional local legend or folk tale.
