In the late 19th century, Hugh McConnell and his family were well known as liquor and grocery merchants in Belfast. After his death in 1899, his widow Eleanor ran the business and opened a new distillery known as the Cromac Distillery. The distillery used pure water from local wells and produced the popular ginger beer. McConnell's, which was at the heart of the Irish distilling industry, plans to revive this tradition with a new distillery in Belfast, keeping with the tradition of writing "whiskey" without the "e".
