It seemed to compliment the smell of the stove, the peat and my gran\u2019s baking.\u00a0Although it\u2019s a morning moment, the whiskey is the taste of the night before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once he has this taste in his mind\u2019s eye, the sense of place for James is richer than the lighter Irish whiskey style prevalent today. His aim is to create a style that harks back to a richer era in Irish whiskey, pre-prohibition and for which Donegal\u2019s distillers were famed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-28908 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_Photoshoot_Artboards_1-12-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_Photoshoot_Artboards_1-12-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_Photoshoot_Artboards_1-12-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_Photoshoot_Artboards_1-12-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_Photoshoot_Artboards_1-12-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_Photoshoot_Artboards_1-12-696x696.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_Photoshoot_Artboards_1-12-1068x1068.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_Photoshoot_Artboards_1-12-420x420.jpg 420w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_Photoshoot_Artboards_1-12.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>James\u00a0continues, \u201cI look for balance in the structure of that taste in the whiskeys available to me.\u00a0One building block of Dark Silkie is intense sweetness &#8211; Grain Whiskey virgin oak provides a rounded sweetness, caramel toffee; it feels rich, luxurious, generous, and safe, and captures the innocence of that version of me.\u00a0 It also brings a degree of tannin to the whiskey.\u00a0 Another is smoky, ashy; triple distilled peated malt provides the pipe aromas, an earthy smoky note that we can get to play off the sweetness of the grain. To balance the intense sweet grain I choose the aromatic freshness of a double distilled single malt in sherry, more estery and zesty to cut into the sweetness in the final blend, all of which creates a maritime herbal quality that is almost salty\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Truman &amp; Orange, the premium drinks company that seeks to bring greater choice to the South African spirits landscape, recently added Silkie whiskeys to their growing whiskey portfolio. \u00a0\u201cWe sell brands that taste great and have amazing stories,\u201d explains Rowan Leibbrandt from Truman &amp; Orange.\u00a0\u00a0<em>\u00a0<\/em>\u201cMoonlight mermaids, powerful\u00a0family ties and an intense love of the heritage of the wild Donegal coast will certainly fuel some late-night whiskey drinking and storytelling evenings, I know South African drinkers will enjoy exploring this unique brand as much as I have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-28919 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_SKU_SA-Bottle-267x400.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"267\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_SKU_SA-Bottle-267x400.png 267w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_SKU_SA-Bottle-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_SKU_SA-Bottle-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_SKU_SA-Bottle-1024x1536.png 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_SKU_SA-Bottle-696x1044.png 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_SKU_SA-Bottle-1068x1602.png 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_SKU_SA-Bottle-280x420.png 280w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_SKU_SA-Bottle.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>The Legendary Silkie Irish Whiskey 46%ABV<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Category Winner at the World Whiskies Awards 2021, The Legendary Silkie Irish Whiskey is the perfect sipping whiskey, enjoy as it is, over ice or in your favourite whiskey cocktail.

Dark Silkie is a smoky blend of double distilled single malts and triple distilled peated single malts with soft grain whiskey, created to savour in the later watches of the night. On the nose, the Legendary Dark Silkie has fresh apple, pipe tobacco and the comforting dry smoke of a peat fire. To taste, the whiskey is super soft with a salted-caramel sweetness, dark chocolate and liquorice, oak, leather, and a dry spicy smoke. The finish is warming with smoky malt, peanut butter and melts away.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-28916 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_Photoshoot_Artboards_1-118-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_Photoshoot_Artboards_1-118-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_Photoshoot_Artboards_1-118-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_Photoshoot_Artboards_1-118-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_Photoshoot_Artboards_1-118-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_Photoshoot_Artboards_1-118-696x696.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_Photoshoot_Artboards_1-118-1068x1068.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_Photoshoot_Artboards_1-118-420x420.jpg 420w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2023\/01\/Silkie_Photoshoot_Artboards_1-118.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>Signature Serve\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The rich chocolatey character is superb in a\u00a0Dark Espresso Surprise, Dark Silkie\u2019s take\u00a0o nan espresso martini<\/p>\n<p><em>RRP: R610<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Available online at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/protect-za.mimecast.com\/s\/PtlsCZ4XoMcDERwGHj23NH?domain=cutlerdrinks.co.za\">www.cutlerdrinks.co.za<\/a>\u00a0and all major leading bottle store retailers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bringing the almost-forgotten smoky style of Irish whiskey back into the consciousness and repertoire of discerning premium spirits drinkers is the collection of Silkie whiskeys.
