In 1776, James and John McConnell opened their Belfast distillery where they crafted the first recorded Irish Whisky brand to exist there. McConnell's Whisky was a popular export to the US, until Prohibition severely impacted sales, and the distillery was closed. Today, the legendary McConnell's brand has been revived. Aged 5 years, this fine blend of Irish Malt and Irish Grain Whisky is gently rested in Select Bourbon Casks bringing out beautiful overtones of vanilla sweetness with the quality of the Irish in the background.
