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 our reason for being.
The Irish whiskey industry declined in the 1800s. However, here in Belfast McConnell's endured - outlasting many others. Now that name is back, heralding the return of the city's illustrious distilling heritage.
McConnell's was first established in Belfast in 1776 and was a hugely successful brand for over 150 years. Now the brand is thriving again and the team at Belfast Distillery Company is 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.
