The Silkie range is named for the mythical seal-folk of Irish and Scottish legend, and The Midnight Silkie, evoking the dark, mysterious Donegal coast at night, revives the historically smoky style of Donegal whiskey. It is a smoky blend of single malts finished in virgin oak and imperial stout casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose brings intense peat smoke, dark fruit, toasted oak, sea salt and vanilla.
