PEATED IRISH Whiskey SILKIE The Legendary 70 cl
The Legendary Silkie Irish Whiskey: Gentle Peat and Fresh Fruit
The Legendary Silkie is an Irish blended whiskey produced by Sliabh Liag Distillers in County Donegal, on Ireland’s north-western coast. Its name draws inspiration from the local folklore surrounding the Silkies, mythical seal-like creatures associated with the Donegal shoreline. The brand connects this heritage with a whiskey designed around softness, fruit and a subtle smoky note.
The blend combines double- and triple-distilled malt whiskeys, grain whiskey and a small proportion of peated malt. Rather than delivering an intense medicinal or heavily smoky character, the peat provides a gentle background note that complements the fruit and malt.
On the nose, fresh green apple and pear are accompanied by honeyed and buttery impressions. The palate develops notes of orange zest, ginger and biscuits, supported by a soft malt character. A restrained touch of smoke adds depth, while the finish is smooth, gently warming and lightly spiced.
Bottled at 46% ABV, The Legendary Silkie is non-chill-filtered, helping preserve its texture and aromatic character. It can be enjoyed neat or over ice, allowing the balance between fruit, malt and smoke to come through. For a longer drink, the producer recommends serving it with premium ginger ale over ice and garnishing with orange peel.
This whiskey is suited to drinkers looking for an approachable Irish blend with more character than a purely light and neutral style, while remaining gentler than heavily peated expressions.

Description
The Legendary Silkie: An Irish Blend Inspired by Donegal Folklore
The Legendary Silkie brings together Irish whiskey blending and the storytelling traditions of County Donegal. Produced by Sliabh Liag Distillers, it takes its name from the mythical Silkies of the local coast. The company’s broader ambition is to reconnect with Donegal’s distilling heritage, and this whiskey represents an early step in that project.
Its blend is made from malt whiskeys that have undergone double or triple distillation, grain whiskey and a small amount of peated malt. These components contribute different elements to the finished spirit: malt brings cereal and fruit notes, grain helps create a soft texture, and the peated component introduces a restrained smoky accent. The overall style prioritises balance rather than overwhelming peat intensity.
The aromatic profile begins with green apple and pear, followed by honey and a buttery quality. On the palate, orange zest and ginger bring freshness and spice, while biscuit-like and malty notes provide warmth. The light smoke remains in the background and carries through into a gentle, lingering finish.
The whiskey is bottled at 46% ABV and is not chill-filtered. It can be served neat to explore its layered profile, or over ice for a cooler, softer expression. It also works in mixed drinks: ginger ale and orange peel provide a simple serve that complements its fruit and spice notes.
The Legendary Silkie is a versatile choice for those exploring Irish blended whiskey, particularly drinkers who appreciate fresh fruit, a rounded mouthfeel and just a hint of peat.
