The Quiet Man Has Arrived
A pair of Irish whiskies – blended and single malt – will be arriving on American shores this month – both are from The Quiet Man in Derry, Ireland. Distilled in traditional Irish whiskey pot stills matured in oak barrels and re-casked in first-fill bourbon casks, The Quiet Man Traditional Blended Irish whiskey and The Quiet Man 8-Year single malt Irish whiskey, are both bottled at 80 proof. The Traditional Blended whiskey is aged four years and has a high malt percentage and is said to feature a mellow finish. The single malt, on the other hand differs with floral notes.
The Quiet Man is priced at $40 per bottle for the blended variety and $50 per bottle for the single malt and is currently available in Canada, Germany, Ireland and South Africa, Canada and Ireland but will be available in the US beginning January 2015.
