5 Year Old Double Glass Giftpack

McConnells is one of the historic names in Irish whiskey, with origins dating back to1776 in Belfast. Founded by brothers John and James McConnell, the brand became widely respected and enjoyed by whiskey enthusiasts for more than 150 years. Today, the legacy has been revived by the Belfast Distillery Company, celebrating the citys rich distilling heritage and restoring a name that once defined Belfast whiskey.

McConnells 5 Year Old is a carefully crafted blend of selected Irish malt and grain whiskies, matured for five years in ex-bourbon oak casks. These American oak barrels impart a refined character, introducing layers of vanilla sweetness, subtle oak influence, and a delicate charred finish. The result is a smooth, well-balanced whiskey that reflects traditional Irish blending and maturation techniques.

Presented in a premium double-glass gift pack, this release honors the revival of a historic Belfast brand while offering a modern whiskey experience rooted in tradition.
