Discover McConnells Irish Whisky at Belfast Whiskey Week 2026

Part of Belfast since 1776, now properly back with a Crumlin Road distillery. Northern Ireland whiskey with dúchas running through it — not just a dram worth having, but a toast to Belfast itself.
McConnell's has been part of Belfast since 1776, and after years away from the city it came from, it's back. Properly back, with a distillery on Crumlin Road and a dram that the city can be proud of again. This is Northern Ireland whiskey with dúchas running through it, and at Belfast Whiskey Week it carries the full weight of what that homecoming means.

The programme has reflected the brand's place in the city: Distillery Days, cocktail competitions, Robin Elliot live music, Choc and Cheese pairings, the Wrap Party, and distillery tours that put the whiskey back in the streets it grew up in. McConnell's isn't just a dram worth having. It's a toast to Belfast itself. Sláinte mhór.
