History of McConnell's Irish Whiskey:

McConnell's, one of the oldest names in Irish whiskey, has its roots deep in Belfast history, dating back to 1776. At this time, when important chapters in the history of the distilling industry were beginning to be written in Belfast, the McConnell's brand was synonymous with quality and innovation. This rich historical legacy is underpinned by the courage and determination of Eleanor McConnell, who, following the untimely death of her husband Hugh, continued the family business as a rectifying distiller and cemented the foundations for future generations.

The Belfast Distillery Company, the company behind today's McConnell's production, aims to not only restore but to surpass the legendary status of this historic brand.

Despite the fact that there are currently no active distilleries in Belfast, the Belfast Distillery Company has ambitious plans to change that.

McConnell's was in operation until 1930, making it one of the longest surviving distilleries in the city's history. After a long period of silence, this historic brand has been revived and now serves as a bridge between a rich history and an exciting future for Irish whiskey.

McConnell's 20Y Single Malt from the Old Cromac Collection is not only a testament to the rich history and winemaking prowess of J&J McConnells, but also symbolizes the rebirth and continued innovation of the Irish distilling industry. Each bottle embodies the spirit of tradition and innovation that is now alive and well again in the heart of Belfast.
