The Whiskey Reviewer A World of Whiskey, Poured Every Weekday
By Richard Thomas
Quiet Man, the sourced Irish Whiskey brand owned by Niche Drinks and imported into the U.S. by Luxco, has set its sights on building a distillery in Derry. Niche Drinks co-owner and managing director Ciaran Mulgrew made a presentation to the Derry City and Strabane District Council’s Business and Culture Committee last week, and is seeking planning permission on a £12 million project that will create 43 jobs. Most of those jobs would be as tour guides or in the attached cafe planned for visitors; only 8 would be working in the actual distillery. If permission is approved, Mulgrew expects the distillery will be operational in mid-2018.
