Highland Imports added new award-winning Irish whiskey line The Legendary Silkie Irish Whiskey to its portfolio. Inspired by the tales of the mythical Silkie seals of the Donegal coast and local lore, The Legendary Silkie Irish Whiskey offers a balanced blend of double- and triple-distilled single malts, soft grain whiskey and a hint of peated malt. Bottled by hand at 46% ABV, the whiskey is non-chill-filtered for a distinctively rich character. The Legendary Silkie Irish Whiskey is a perfect sipping whiskey over ice or in a favorite whiskey cocktail, with the signature serve for the Silkie Rua, The Legendary Silkie mixed with premium ginger ale over ice and garnished with orange peel. Family ties, a love of the Donegal coast and a spark of inspiration created the path for the founders of Sliabh Liag Distillers, James and Moira Doherty, who share a mission to promote Donegal through creating unique, world-class whiskeys while attracting economic opportunities and growth for the region.
