FAQs
Silkie Irish Whiskey, produced by the Sliabh Liag Distillery in Ardara, County Donegal, is bottled at its Donegal production site. The whiskey uses malted and unmalted barley, including a proportion of peated malt, in a blend that references the traditional Donegal style of whiskey making. Sliabh Liag is the first legal distillery in Donegal in over a century and uses water from the Sliabh Liag mountains and locally sourced ingredients to establish its regional identity.
