The Midnight Silkie Irish Whiskey

Produced by Sliabh Liag Distillers in County Donegal, Ireland, The Legendary Midnight Silkie is the smokiest expression in the core Silkie range. It is a blend of five triple-distilled single malt whiskeys, with 35% of the blend consisting of peated single malt matured in bourbon casks. The remaining malts draw character from Oloroso sherry, virgin oak, imperial stout and red wine casks, creating a rich combination of dark fruit, treacle sweetness, warming spice and dry peat smoke. It is bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered and at natural colour.

Food Pairing: Smoked brisket, barbecue pork, dark chocolate, fruit cake, mature cheddar, or caramelized desserts with warming spices.

Tasting Notes: Rich, complex and smoky, balancing dark fruit and treacle sweetness with chocolate, citrus, warming spice and dry aromatic peat.

Nose: Rich and aromatic, with dark muscovado sweetness, baked apple and chocolate-orange character accompanied by warming spice and fragrant pipe smoke.

Palate: Full and warming, developing dried dark fruits, toffee and treacle alongside nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, leather and dry peat smoke.

Finish: Long and warming, with lingering earthy smoke, citrus, dried fruit and gentle peppery spice.

Serve: Enjoy neat or over ice in a Glencairn glass; a small amount of water can also help open the darker fruit, spice and smoky malt character.
