“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. ”

Description
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!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Orchard fruit sweetness veiled by dry smoke, cigar box and spicy oak.
Palate
Salted dark chocolate, with oaky vanilla, fresh tobacco and waves of more drying smoke.
Finish
Toasted nuts and sweet malt, with gentle smoke in the background.
