Sliabh Liag Distillery Silkie Irish Whiskey 700ml

Sliabh Liag Distillers is the first distilling company in the county for over 175 years, established with the purpose of reclaiming the distilling heritage of Donegal. Two Scatterlings have returned to Sliabh Liag with their Meitheal (work-gang or team) to create a legacy that the whole community can be proud of. Located on the Sliabh Liag peninsula, the distillery is surrounded by one of the world’s most striking landscapes populated by resilient people, steeped in folklore and with a legendary distilling heritage.

The Silke Irish Whiskey is the distilleries first step on their ambitious journey. They are in the process of building their distillery but that didn't stop them from producing this top class whiskey. They have sourced a blend of grain and malt whiskeys that when blended together produce a signature soft mouth feel. The end result is a straw gold colour with hints of amber. The nose is malty and fresh, green apples, and opens to a honey butteriness. The palate is soft honey, with hints of brioche, butterscotch, digestive biscuits, orange zest, and stem ginger. It finished warm and elegant.
