New kid on the block. A lot of action, little talk.
As you might have guessed, the Quiet Man is a new actor on the international Whiskey stage. The Whiskey is a product of a partnership between the St. Louis based Luxco Company and Niche Drinks in Derry, Northern Ireland. This is the first Irish Whiskey bottled in Derry in well over a 100 years. They’re getting their spirit elsewhere for now, but a new distillery is in the works as well. That’s great news for them and for Irish Whiskey in general, which is running low on supply as it is.
The Quiet Man brand was born when Ciaran Mulgrew, the founder of Niche Drinks, decided to create a Whiskey to honor his father. The latter was a Belfast bartender for 50 years and was, like any good bartender, true to the code and told no tales — he was indeed The Quiet Man or as they say in Ireland, "An Fear Ciuin." Their handcrafted Whiskey is distilled in traditional Irish Whiskey pot stills, matured in oak barrels and recasked in first-fill bourbon casks. The fact that finishing takes place in barrels that previously held only Bourbon, gives this dram a bit of a special twist and originality.
Their flagship is currently the Quiet Man 8 YO, single malt bottled at 40% ABV and aged for 8 years. Although we’re dealing with a relatively young dram (and a young brand!), we can safely vouch it can spar with the big boys when it comes to flavor and complexity, while retaining that classic smooth finish synonymous with Irish Whiskey. If you’re looking for a gateway into the world of Irish Whiskey, this is a good place to start. If you know your way around them already, you’ve got a new friend on the other side of the bar. The Quiet Man.

Ratings & Reviews
guest,
Very good my first Irish whiskey I tried beside the common whiskeys like Jameson. And I enjoyed is a lot.
Robert,
Smooth, yet enticing. Vanilla and a bit of spice on the pallet. Recommended at a high degree
Stuart,
Perfect every night whiskey. Pour. Wait 10 minutes. Enjoy.
Richard,
The Quiet Man regular is the whiskey that got my attention. My local spirits merchant was out of it but had the 8 year, so I purchased it instead. And as good as the regular is, the 8 year left it in the dust. Since I am new to whiskeys in general, and Irish whiskeys in particular, I cannot yet begin to claim the ability to pick out flavors. But I know what I like. And I really like this one.
Dustin,
I didn't much care of this one. It almost seemed more like a scotch with the smokiness. Seemed overly harsh for me.
