Legendary Dark Silkie Irish Whiskey

Dark Silkie has at its core a triple distilled peated single malt which is matured in sherry casks. This single malt is peated to 55ppm (parts per million) which after the triple distillation results in a phenol level around 22ppm giving a rich sweet smoky flavour. The peated single malt is blended with a double distilled single malt matured in bourbon barrels and soft grain whiskey matured in virgin oak casks.

As with the multi-award winning Silkie Irish Whiskey, Dark Silkie is hand bottled at the distillery in Carrick, County Donegal and in keeping with the strong tradition of storytelling, still prevalent in Donegal today, The Dark Silkie is named after the Silkies of the Donegal coast and has been designed to be savoured by the glow of a warm turf fire, in the later watches of the night.
