Sliabh Liag Distillers has shown its smoky side with this Irish blend, dubbed The Legendary Dark Silkie! Taking inspiration from 19th century Donegal whiskey, a triple distilled peated single malt is at the core of this expression, peated to about 22ppm and matured in sherry casks. It's then blended with a bourbon-matured single malt as well as a grain whiskey having been rested in virgin oak. The result? A fruity, subtly smoky and dry bottling which is sure to convert Irish whiskey lovers to a hint of peat!
Orchard fruit sweetness veiled by dry smoke, cigar box and spicy oak.
Salted dark chocolate, with oaky vanilla, fresh tobacco and waves of more drying smoke.
Toasted nuts and sweet malt, with gentle smoke in the background.

Very nice peated blend! And much better than many peated whiskys of a higher price.
For me, that is the perfect amount of peat and smoke in a beautifully enjoyable Irish whiskey. The finish is really lingering and just asks to have a wee drop more to be poured............
Fantastic whiskey. Very enjoyable. Well worth adding to your collection
A good Krish peated whiskey strong on the nose and taste a good drink to sip and enjoy cheers
Amazing blend. Took me a day and a half to go 1/2 bottle in. It is savoury smoke on the nose, fruity creamy palate, chocolate too with nice briny, marine salt aftertaste.
