Red Silkie Irish Whiskey (Second Edition)
Blended
The Legendary Silkie // Ireland
The Red Silkie was the first release for the brand's Cask Collection which first launched in 2020. This second edition returned to shelves in 2023 with a limited run of 5,300 bottles. Like the first release, the brand begins with their flagship Legendary Silkie Irish Whiskey (a blend of double and triple distilled single malts and single grain whiskeys). One parcel of whiskey is aged in Rioja red wine casks and another in Ribera del Duero red wine casks for six months.
Then the whiskeys are dumped from those barrels and married for a time before bottling. Bottled at 46% ABV, it's available beginning March 2023. (SRP $54.99).

Tasting Notes
"The aroma of roasted barley welcomes the nose with tinges of honey, vanilla, allspice, and burning autumn leaves. The palate is a warming mixture of almond biscotti, baked plums, and clove with a grainy richness. Smoky flavor is present, but well integrated into the sweet, fruity (currants and purple grapes, mostly), and spicy mix like curls of pipe tobacco. The finish is well balanced and lingering. "
