McConnell’s Irish Whisky

McConnell’s Irish Whisky is a 5-year-old blend of Irish malt and grain whiskey rested in select bourbon casks — a revival of the historic Belfast brand first crafted by John and James McConnell in 1776.

McConnell’s was a popular worldwide export, including across America, before Prohibition and global conflict forced the distillery to close in the 1930s. Today the legendary brand is restored to bar rooms from Belfast to Boston.
