Posted on July 12, 2022 in Events

Join us at Norfolk Wine & Spirits on Wednesday, July 13th at 6:30 p.m. for a FREE Silkie Irish Whiskey tasting led by Nicholas Nastasi.

The Legend:
Under soft moonlight, our mermaid comes ashore as a Silkie, at the secluded Silver Strand, on the Donegal Coast. Gently shedding her seal coat, she reveals her human form – a beautiful dark haired maiden with deep, soulful eyes. Dancing along the sand, revelling in the freedom she enjoys in both worlds, she is unaware of the young fisherman captivated by her beauty. She turns, their eyes meet and their love is set. Our Silkie makes her home with her fisherman but the sea restlessly calls to her drawing her back to the water. The call becomes so strong that she must leave her love and return to the ocean forever.

The Legendary Silkie Irish Whiskey:
The original Silkie Irish Whiskey has a character as rich as the mythical tales that inspire it. The Silkie is a blend of peated and unpeated, double and triple distilled, sherry matured single malt, and virgin and rechar matured grain (maize). Blended for a signature softness; with hints of apple and pear; an easy maltiness, orange zest, hob nob biscuits, and just the merest hint of smoke. Bottled non-chill filtered and of natural color at 46% ABV.

The Legendary Dark Silkie Irish Whiskey:
Reclaiming the lost taste of rich, smoky blended Irish Whiskey. The Dark Silkie is a blend of peated and unpeated, double and triple distilled, bourbon and sherry matured single malt, and virgin oak matured grain (maize). The Dark Silkie is super soft with hints of apple, pipe tobacco and a salted-caramel sweetness. It develops to dark chocolate, liquorice and oak wrapped in a warming dry, peat-smoke blanket. Bottled non-chill filtered and of natural color at 46% ABV.

Water and snacks will be provided. Must be 21+ to participate.
