McConnell's

Founded in Belfast in 1776 by John and James McConnell, McConnell's is one of Ireland's oldest and most iconic brands. After more than 150 years of success, it went through fire and Prohibition, leading to the distillery's closure. A century later, in 2020, the Belfast Distillery Company relaunches the legend: McConnell's Irish Whisky is reborn, finally bearing the name of its creators.

McConnell's was founded in Belfast in 1776 by two brothers, John and James McConnell. Considered Ireland's oldest whisky brand and distillery, it established itself as one of the most iconic whiskies for over 150 years. In response to growing demand, the McConnell family opened a new distillery and brewery in 1899.

However, the beginning of the twentieth century marked a difficult period: two devastating fires struck the company, resulting in major losses. Despite this, the brand persisted. Unfortunately, Prohibition in the United States sealed Cromac Distillery's fate.

It would be a century before the Belfast Distillery Company decided to revive this legend. In 2020, McConnell's Irish Whisky is reborn... And yes, “whisky” without the “-e”! For the first time, this spirit proudly bears the name of its founders.
