McConnell’s was the name that delighted whisky-lovers around the world for over 150 years. Now the Legend is Reborn. Pride in Belfast and its whisky heritage is their reason for being.
Belfast Distillery Company, the venture behind McConnell’s Irish Whisky, was established with a single goal: Restoring the Legend. And they’re well on their way. Since 2019 they have triumphantly revived McConnell’s, a brand that dates back to 1776 and which is once again finding great success across the city, from its local pubs to its most prestigious bars.
Beyond Belfast, McConnell’s portfolio is reaching global spirits markets, including the US, Canada, Australia plus of course the major Irish whiskey markets in Europe. With sales soaring worldwide, and winning awards for the quality of their products, they are now creating a brand home for their whisky and are opening a distillery in North Belfast, at the historic site of the Crumlin Road Gaol.
McConnell’s takes pride in their product, history and passion for distilling and will tell everyone who comes to visit them their exciting and unique story, while bringing investment to the local community.
