McConnell's750ml 5YO Sherry Cask Irish Whisky

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.
