Luxco to launch ‘handcrafted’ Irish whiskey in US
Luxco is preparing to take its first ever Irish whiskey range to the US this month – “handcrafted” The Quiet Man.
Luxco Quiet Man Irish whiskey is set to launch in the US in JanuaryThe Quiet Man is created in partnership with Niche Drinks in Derry, Ireland, and is said to be the first Irish whiskey bottled in Derry in over a century.
“The Quiet Man is a completely unique combination of hand selected whiskies, finished in first-fill Bourbon barrels, creating sweet and spicy notes,” said Ciaran Mulgrew.
“In more than 50 years behind the bar, my father saw and heard it all, but like all good bartenders, John Mulgrew was true to the code and told no tales.
“He was ‘the quiet man’, or as they say in the pubs of Ireland, ‘an fear ciuin’.”
The range comprises two variants – The Quiet Man Traditional Blended Irish Whiskey and The Quiet Man 8-Year Single Malt Irish Whiskey – distilled in Irish whiskey pot stills and matured in oak barrels and recasked in first-fill Bourbon barrels.
Both expressinos are bottled at 40% abv and carry an RRP of US$39.99 per 750ml for the blended whiskey and US$49.99 per 750ml for the single malt.
First launched in June 2015, the range is already available to purchase in Germany, South Africa, Canada and Ireland.
