McConnell's 5 Year Old Irish Whiskey

A blend of Irish malt and grain whiskies matured for 5 years in bourbon barrels, this expression shows why McConnell’s has long been regarded as a benchmark for Irish whisky. The spirit opens with aromas of light citrus, peppered spice, and vanilla that hint at its bourbon influence. On the palate, layers of stone fruits, butterscotch, vanilla sweetness, white pepper, and gentle oak create a profile that is both approachable and rewarding. The finish is sweet and spiced, with lingering ripe fruits that invite another sip. Bottled at 42% ABV, it is a versatile whisky equally suited to sipping neat or mixing into classic cocktails.

McConnells Irish Whiskey Sherry Cask

Built on the same 5-year-old blend, this edition is first aged in bourbon barrels before being finished in Oloroso sherry casks, adding a deeper richness and complexity. The nose offers dried figs, currants, Christmas spice, dark chocolate, and a hint of leather, immediately signalling a fuller-bodied character. On the palate, it develops into flavours of brown sugar, dark ripe cherries, black raspberry, dark chocolate shavings, and rich red apples. The influence of the sherry wood brings a syrupy weight and warm depth, while the finish lingers with oak, leather, and subtle clove. Bottled at a robust 46% ABV and non-chill filtered, it delivers a bold yet balanced drinking experience for those who appreciate layered, complex Irish whisky.
