A miniature of the smokiest expression in the Silkie range
The Legendary Midnight Silkie Irish Whiskey 5 CL presents the expression that completes Silkie’s core collection in miniature format. It is the smokiest blend in the range, combining four triple-distilled single malts with a fifth peated single malt, also triple distilled.
Its 5 cl capacity provides a convenient way to discover this intense profile in an individual measure. It is ideal for tastings, comparative whiskey sessions, gifts, minibars and selections of Irish whiskey miniatures.
A blend built around smoke
At the heart of this expression are five triple-distilled single malts. Four provide the foundation of the blend, while the fifth is a peated single malt that intensifies its smoky character.
This composition makes Midnight Silkie the most intense expression in the core collection. Smoke plays a central role, but is balanced by the smoothness associated with triple distillation, preventing the whiskey from feeling excessively harsh.
The Legendary Midnight Silkie Irish Whiskey 5 CL is intended for those already familiar with Irish whiskey who are seeking an interpretation with a more pronounced peated character. It may also appeal to fans of smoky whiskies who wish to explore a style distinct from Scotch whisky.
An individual format for tastings and gifts
The miniature makes it possible to try this expression before choosing a larger bottle. It can also be included in themed tastings, tasting calendars or selections of Irish whiskeys with different levels of smoke.
Its compact size makes it suitable as a favour for weddings, events and corporate gifts. It takes up very little space, is easy to transport and contains a suitable quantity for a complete tasting.
In a comparative tasting, it is particularly useful alongside other expressions from the Silkie collection. This makes it possible to appreciate how the blend changes as the proportion and influence of peated malts increase.
How to enjoy Midnight Silkie 5 CL
We recommend serving it neat and at room temperature, preferably in a small tasting glass. Allowing it to rest for a few minutes helps the initial smoke open up and reveals the nuances of the different malts more clearly.
A small amount of water may also be added. This softens the intensity and helps reveal the balance between the peat smoke and the smooth texture created by triple distillation.
Its profile is particularly well suited to slow enjoyment at the end of the day. The expression itself was created to be enjoyed during the midnight watch, a reference that reinforces its deep and contemplative character.
