The Quiet Man 12-Year-Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey, named “An Culchiste” (meaning “The Reserve” in Irish), is a distinguished expression matured exclusively in select Kentucky bourbon casks for 12 years. This maturation imparts rich vanilla and oak characteristics, resulting in a smooth and refined whiskey. Bottled at 46% ABV and non-chill filtered, it preserves the full depth of its flavours.
Nose: Delicate aromas of pineapple, lemon cake, orange peel, honey, and vanilla, offering a light and inviting bouquet.
Palate: Smooth and well-balanced, featuring flavours of tropical fruits, honey, citrus peel, and gently spiced oak, creating a harmonious and complex profile.
Finish: Soft and smooth with a pronounced malty character, leaving a satisfying and lingering impression.
This expression has received notable acclaim, including a 93-point rating in Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible 2018, highlighting its exceptional quality.
