The Quiet Man BARMAN’S CODE 10 Years Old AMARONE FINISHED 43% vol. 0.7 l

The Quiet Man BARMAN’S CODE 10 Years Old Amarone Finished is an elegant Irish single malt whisky, 43 per cent ABV, in a 0.7-litre bottle, which combines traditional Irish distilling craftsmanship with an exceptional cask finish. The Quiet Man brand pays homage to the generation of Irish barmen who heard countless stories yet always maintained their discretion – hence the name ‘The Quiet Man’. The Barman’s Code Series showcases selected bottlings that stand out thanks to their unique maturation processes and limited-edition cask combinations.

This 10-year-old Irish single malt whisky is first matured in selected oak casks and then finished in Amarone wine casks from the Valpolicella region of Italy. This secondary maturation lends the whisky additional depth and enriches its typically smooth Irish character with fruity notes of dark berries, ripe cherries and delicate spices. The result is a balanced and multi-layered whisky that harmoniously combines fruitiness, spice and subtle oak aromas, delighting both connoisseurs and lovers of exceptional cask finishes.
