This right here is a limited edition release from County Donegal's Sliabh Liag Distillers, introducing a helping of fruity deliciousness to its Silkie Irish Whiskey. The Legendary Red Silkie once again features a combination of peaty malt whiskeys and creamy grain whiskey, but this time it has been finished in Spanish red wine casks. If you're a bit of a wine buff and want to know what type of casks specifically, it was Rioja and Ribera del Duero red wine casks. Bold and flavoursome, packing plenty of summer berry notes, juxtaposed by smoky richness.
Rounded notes of strawberry and blackcurrant, with vegetal peaty notes growing.
Toasted sugar, warm barley, more sweet strawberry, now with drying oak tannins.
Cooked fruit and a smidge of black pepper.

A superb whiskey. I first tried this when their rep handed me a sample and it was really enjoyable. There is a distinct note of "cheap chocolate," with a lot of sweetness.
