The Legendary Dark Silkie Blended Irish Whiskey Review

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.

Yellowstone Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Review

Yellowstone Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Review

Dating Back to 1872 Yellowstone Bourbon Whiskey is one of Kentucky’s Oldest Brands

Yellowstone Kentucky straight bourbon borrows its name from America’s very first national park. In 1872, Yellowstone bourbon was crafted to honor the park’s historic wonder, beauty and pioneering spirit.

It all began when a man named Jacob Beam sold his first barrels of corn whiskey. This family was there at the start of the Kentucky bourbon business boom. Seven generations later, brothers Steve and Paul Beam started their own chapter of the family history book as the proud Kentucky bourbon distillers behind Limestone Branch Distillery.

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.
