An ode to Donegal whiskeys of days gone by, the Legendary Silkie is a beautifully balanced blend of the finest double and triple distilled single malts and grain whiskeys. Non-chill filtered, and incredibly soft with a stunning natural sweetness. The 2% peated malt in the blend adds a kiss of peat smoke.

Nose: At first honeyed malt, nuts and dark chocolate followed by marzipan, all spice and fruits. Taste: Clean and mellow honey malt and then the taste complexity reveals itself - rich dried fruit, spices, nuts and sweet oils. Finish: A pleasant gentle wood with honey sweetness fading slowly.

The early floral yet biscuit flavour reflects the grain whiskey, while the soft spicy notes can be attributed to the pot still whiskey in the blend. The citrus flavour is contributed by the malt. Finally notice the nutty or even marzipan note combined with distinctive vanilla in the finish imparted by the sherry and bourbon casks used in maturation.

Nose: Mown hay & cracked black pepper. Red bell peppers, nutmeg, clove oil and green tea. Sweet honey and peaches from the Malaga casks. Taste: Honey sweetness with pot still spices. Flavours of fresh coffee, creamy milk chocolate and crème brûlée. Notes of red apples and toasted oak. Finish: Sophisticated and complex. Sweetness throughout, with a mix of red grapy and dry barley upon exit.
