About
McConnell’s Irish Whisky was first established in Belfast in 1776 and was a hugely successful brand for over 150 years. A series of industry changes and company misfortunes including the introduction of prohibition in the USA and a warehouse blaze in Dunbar Street, Belfast, saw a decline in Irish whiskey and McConnell’s as a brand. Now the brand is thriving again and the team at Belfast Distillery Company are immersed in “Restoring The Legend” - Brothers John and James McConnell would be happy that the business they built in Belfast years ago, is once more in excellent spirits.

And isn't this a good deal, don't you think?
Back in 1995, when Alanis Morisette sang 'It's like rain on your wedding day, it's a free ride when you've already paid' etc, there were very few people who didn't know the lyrics to 'Ironic', especially the fabled line 'And isn't it ironic, don't you think?' Fast forward almost 30 years later and you will find countless blogs and posts about how nothing in the song is actually 'ironic' at all, rather just coincidental or unfortunate.
Like 10 thousand spoons when all you need is a knife? Yeah, that's not really ironic, just a case of bad luck. And way too many spoons, in our opinion? Where can one even find that many? You know what's not ironic, coincidental or unfortunate, though? Our deal on this 24-piece stainless steel cutlery set from Jane Becker.
