Description

The Legendary Red Silkie has returned due to popular demand, this second release of the limited edition Red Silkie follows a sell out release in 2020. The Legendary Red Silkie Irish Whiskey not only draws inspiration from the folklore of Donegal, but of the rich history and heritage of the county. The Legendary Red Silkie has been finished in Rioja and Ribera red wine casks, the Ribera del Duero wine region lies just to the east of the final resting place of Red Hugh O’Donnell at the Castle of Simancas in Spain. Wines from the Ribera region tend to be full bodied with firm tannins while Rioja wines lead with big fruit flavours. This combination of wine cask finishes gives the whiskey extraordinary depth of character, matched with the signature softness of the award-winning Silkie blend.
