Expert Review

Silkie Whiskey Sliabh Liag The Midnight Irish Whiskey is a Blended Irish Whiskey, bottled at 46%.

Midnight Silkie is a rich, characterful blended Irish whiskey that differs from the other whiskeys in the series by having a higher proportion of peat-smoked malt whiskey, giving it a marked smoky profile, more pronounced than the other Silkie variants. It combines a smoky, lightly spiced flavour with classic Irish whiskey notes of sweetness and fruit. Midnight Silkie is inspired by the legendary silkie beings from Irish folklore – seals that could transform into beautiful humans – and seeks to capture the mystery and magic of Donegal's night sky and the wild landscapes around the distillery. The whiskey is a fantastic choice for those who appreciate Irish whiskey with a more pronounced smoky character, but who still want a soft and nuanced flavour experience.
