McConnells 5 year Old Irish Whisky
Creamy, Citrus, Floral, Fruity & Smoky. This is the challenge that was set to create the perfect blend of McConnell’s Whisky. The perfect blend between malted barley & grain has been carefully tried and tested that brings a new finish to the iconic brand. The special handpicked ex-Bourbon Barrels that finish the whisky, add the delicate and subtle sweetness. The Barrels provide a deep oak woodiness & light char to the finish.
