Product description
The Quiet Man Whiskey debuted in June 2015. It was created by Ciaran Mulgren, director and co-founder of Niche Drinks based in Derry, Northern Ireland, and distributed by Luxco Inc. of St. Louis, Missouri.
The Quiet Man is Ciaran’s father, John Mulgren, who worked as a barman for 50 years and has always been the epitome of tact. The company won’t reveal which Irish distillery is behind The Quiet Man, except that it’s the first whiskey to be bottled in Derry in over a hundred years. The Bordeaux Cask Finish edition presented here is a triple-distilled, 12-year-old single malt aged for 11 years in ex-bourbon casks and finished for 12 months in ex-Bordeaux casks.
