In the heart of Northern Ireland, a legacy was born in 1776 when John and James McConnell opened their distillery, crafting the very first recorded Irish Whisky brand. This venture became a beloved export, gracing bars from Belfast to Boston. However, the tumultuous waves of Prohibition and global conflicts forced the distillery to close its doors in the 1930s, leaving a gap in the rich tapestry of Irish whiskey history. Today, the McConnell’s brand triumphantly re-emerges, bringing with it the spirit of its storied past, revitalized and ready to be savored once more.
McConnell's 5 Year Old Irish Whiskey is a delightful representation of Ireland's whiskey-making heritage. Each drop is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship, with a smooth blend of Irish malt and grain whiskey, aged in select bourbon casks. This meticulous aging process imparts not only a depth of flavor but also a beautiful balance, making it a versatile choice for any occasion. Whether sipped neat or mixed into a classic cocktail, this whiskey delivers a truly authentic Irish experience that transports you to cozy pubs and lush green hillsides with every taste.
Aroma: Light citrus notes, peppered spice and vanilla undertones.
