History

The Quiet Man Irish Whiskey Co. Ltd is an Irish whiskey distillery that blends tradition and homage. The name stems from John Mulgrew, a bartender in Belfast for 50 years, who always listened to guests' stories and demonstrated wisdom, integrity, and trust. His son, Ciaran Mulgrew, began making his own Irish whiskey and named it after his father, The Quiet Man, or An Fear Ciuin. According to the brand, The Quiet Man was the first whiskey to be bottled in Derry in 100 years. The brand highlights the story of the quiet man and his code, where great respect and humility go hand in hand with craftsmanship.

Production/Manufacturing

The whiskey is produced from a high malt mash and matures in first-fill Bourbon casks of American oak. It is described as ultra-smooth and the result of careful attention to detail, patience, and humility in the craft.
