The Red Silkie was the first release for the brand's Cask Collection which first launched in 2020. This second edition returned to shelves in 2023 with a limited run of 5,300 bottles. Like the first release, the brand begins with their flagship Legendary Silkie Irish Whiskey (a blend of double and triple distilled single malts and single grain whiskeys). One parcel of whiskey is aged in Rioja red wine casks and another in Ribera del Duero red wine casks for six months. Then the whiskeys are dumped from those barrels and married for a time before bottling. Bottled at 46% ABV, it's available beginning March 2023. (SRP $54.99)

A spicy peppery nose. Some nutmeg and small levels of fruit. Taste is sweeter with some spice undertones remaining. Quite a lot going on. Dried fruit, sherry, and wood notes. Long finish with light spice on sides of tongue. Some dry red wine taste with wood tones.
