THE DISTILLERY

By the early 19th century, Belfast had surpassed Cork and Dublin as Ireland’s leading center for whiskey production, both in volume and reputation. At the heart of this golden era was McConnell’s Irish Whisky—a name synonymous with quality and tradition.

Today, we are driving the revival of whiskey distilling in Belfast, a city that once thrived in the industry but now has no active distilleries. That is about to change.

Our vision is to re-establish Belfast as a whiskey powerhouse, creating a world-class distillery and visitor experience in one of the city’s most historically significant locations. By reviving this great Belfast tradition, we aim to bring its legacy back to life, stronger than ever.
