About the McConnell's Brand:

McConnell's Irish Whiskey is one of the oldest Irish whiskey brands, with a history dating back to 1776, when brothers John and James McConnell founded a wine and spirits shop in Belfast and began producing their own whiskey. Thanks to its emphasis on quality, the brand quickly earned an excellent reputation both at home and abroad.

After a long hiatus, the brand was revived in the new millennium with the goal of building on its rich heritage. Today, McConnell's combines traditional Irish methods with a modern approach to aging in carefully selected barrels. It has won more than 40 international awards for the quality of its whiskeys and is among the most interesting contemporary Irish brands.
