The story behind it

The maker

Originally founded by John and James McConnell in 1776, the brand flourished globally before being silenced by a distillery fire and American Prohibition. Reborn in the 21st century, McConnell's is revitalizing Belfast's distilling heritage with exceptional double-wood finished expressions.

How it is made

First established in Belfast in 1776, McConnell's is one of Ireland's oldest legendary whiskey brands. The brand is deeply connected to its home at the historic Crumlin Road Gaol Distillery, where traditional distilling methods are celebrated.
