McConnell's 5yo Irish Whisky ex-American Bourbon Oak Casks 42% 700ml information

McConnell's 5 Year Old Irish Whisky is a revival of the historic brand established in Belfast in 1776, renowned for its fine blend of Irish malt and grain whiskies. This exquisite spirit is aged for a minimum of 5 years in handpicked, first-fill ex-American bourbon barrels, which impart a beautiful overtone of vanilla sweetness, ripe fruits, butterscotch, and pepper spice. The barrels also lend a delicate, subtle sweetness, deep oak woodiness, and a light char to the finish.

Presenting earthy fruits, butterscotch, and vanilla sweetness from the bourbon barrels, the whisky is followed by white pepper and an oak woodiness. It has a classic character with an irresistible charm, appealing to a wide audience. McConnell's Irish Whisky is a blend of malt and grain whiskies from both malted and un-malted grains. Distilled at The Great Northern Distillery in Ireland, and bottled at 42% ABV, it showcases hints of vanilla, nutmeg, and other spices.

The whisky's aroma and taste offer a balance of classic and accessible notes, with a dominant note of vanilla. The blend also reveals undertones of citrus fruits, ripe garden fruits, peppery spice, oak, and earth. This well-rounded whisky from Belfast represents a promising new addition to the Irish whisky scene. McConnell's is one of the oldest and most celebrated Irish Whisky brands, now restored after 90 years. The whisky is gently rested in select bourbon casks, bringing beautiful overtones of vanilla sweetness with the quality of the finest Irish spirit in the background. The special handpicked ex-bourbon barrels add a delicate and subtle sweetness, with a deep oak woodiness and light char to the finish.
