The story behind it

The maker

First founded by brothers John and James McConnell, the brand became a global sensation in the 19th century before a winery fire and American Prohibition halted production. Today, the brand is beautifully restored, distilling a new chapter of Belfast's rich liquid legacy.

How it is made

Established in Belfast in 1776, McConnell's is one of the oldest recorded whisky brands from Ireland. After a period of silence, the brand has been revitalized, drawing pure water and character from the heart of the historic Cromac Springs.
