The Legendary Red Silkie
Spanish Red Wine Cask-Finished Irish Blended Whiskey

Category: Irish Blended Whiskey

Date Tasted:
Country: Ireland
Alcohol: 46%
Gold color. Aromas and flavors of cedar, grilled red plum, apricot marmalade on toast, and ginger with a round, crisp, dry medium body and a peppery, refreshing, medium-length finish with elements of apricot and orange, scorched honey granola, and cloves. Rich and spicy, this Whiskey will do nicely on the rocks to open up more of the spice aromas and smooth out the touch of heat to the palate.
