The Quiet Man Traditional Irish Whiskey

"Traditional" is the flagship blended release in The Quiet Man lineup, named in memory of John Mulgrew—a legendary bartender who worked for 50 years and was known as "The Quiet Man" for his quiet discretion. This expression features a high proportion of single malt whiskey blended with light grain whiskey, triple-distilled and matured exclusively in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels. Bottled at 40% ABV, it offers an exceptionally smooth, rounded profile with rich notes of vanilla, orchard fruit, and warm buttered toast.

Food Pairing: Irish stew, fish and chips, mild Cheddar cheese, roasted chicken, or apple pie.

Tasting Notes: Pale golden amber with clear brilliance and light legs along the glass.

Nose: Light and sweet, opening with fresh green apple, ripe pear, and vanilla bean, followed by honeyed cereal, butterscotch, and gentle oak spice.

Palate: Smooth and approachable on the palate, featuring sweet corn, warm buttered toast, and vanilla cream upfront before developing into gentle black pepper, soft nutmeg, and light oak staves.

Finish: Short-to-medium length, clean, and crisp with lingering notes of sweet wood, soft grain, and citrus zest.

Serve: Enjoy neat at room temperature, on the rocks, or as a base in an Irish Coffee or a classic Whisky & Ginger Ale.
