The McConnell's Irish Whisky opens with light citrus notes, peppered spice and vanilla undertones on the nose. Thr palate reveals earthy fruits, butterscotch and vanilla sweetness from the bourbon casks, white pepper followed by an oak woodiness. Sweet, spice and oak fill the finish with lingering ripe fruits.
McConnell’s is one of the oldest Irish Whisky brands on record – and also one of the most celebrated.
Now, after 90 long years, this legendary whisky has been restored to barrooms and saloons from Belfast to Boston. Aged 5 years, McConnell’s fine blend of Irish malt and grain whiskies is gently rested in select bourbon casks, bringing beautiful overtones of vanilla sweetness – with the quality of the finest Irish spirit in the background.
The perfect blend between malted barley and grain and the special handpicked bourbon barrels add a delicate and subtle sweetness with a deep oak woodiness and light char to the finish.
Wine Enthusiast Review:
McConnell's was born in 1776 and went dark in the early 1900s following a distillery fire and the advent of Prohibition. In 2020, the brand was resurrected. What's in the bottle is a five-year-old blended whiskey, showing honey and coconut aromas. The palate offers golden raisin, red apple and vanilla, leading into a clove and pepper finish punctuated by a final cigar smoke exhale. Yes, the label says “whisky” without the “e,” defying Irish whiskey convention. -K.N.
