Silkie The Legendary Ruby Port Cask Finish
Silkie The Legendary Ruby Port Cask Finish is a richly expressive Irish whiskey inspired by the rugged coast and folklore of Donegal. Building on the smooth, lightly smoky character of Silkie The Legendary, this expression receives a finishing period in Ruby Port casks, adding layers of red fruit sweetness, soft tannins, and elegant depth.
Bottled at 46% ABV, this whiskey balances gentle smoke with vibrant berry notes, honeyed malt, and subtle spice. The Ruby Port influence enhances complexity without overpowering the whiskey’s Irish smoothness, making it both distinctive and approachable.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Red berries, ripe cherries, soft smoke, honeyed malt, vanilla, and hints of cocoa.
Palate: Smooth and rounded with flavours of raspberry, plum, sweet malt, caramel, gentle peat smoke, port sweetness, and warming spice. Well balanced and elegant.
Finish: Medium-long and warming with lingering red fruit, soft smoke, oak tannins, and subtle spice.
