About J&J McConnell’s Distillery
Whisky distilling is back in Belfast in a big way, with the return of J&J McConnell’s. Established as a brand in 1776, it thrived then had to survive crippling fires, eventually succumbing with the downturn in the Irish whiskey industry. A few years ago, the brand returned to the market with an excellent affordable blend and followed that up with a sherry cask offering. Now McConnell's opened a brand new distillery in the Wing A of the historic Crumlin Road Gaol. Here, two pieces of history will come together––a legacy whisky brand and a place of incarceration that touched so many lives in Belfast during the Troubles.
