Best tour in Belfast - Had a fantastic whisky tour in McConnell’s with the wonderful Sam. She was so knowledgeable but more importantly enthusiastic about this gorgeous Irish whisky.

Brilliant New Distillery - I've been on a few distillery tours across Ireland and McConnells stood out as a nice change of pace. The distillery is beautiful and very unique. We did the premium tour, which has the added benefit of 2 premium whiskeys, which are worth the price of admission, and more. Our tour guide, Sam, was the highlight of our tour. Having a local guide with a personality like her's made this tour great. I wish every distillery had someone like Sam to do their tours. I highly recommend McConnells for anyone interested in it.

A blend of Belfast history - Brilliant tour of the distillery with Ethan followed by a connoisseur tasting with Sam. Both really good fun and full of local knowledge. Thanks Sam and Ethan! Blending two integral parts of Belfast's history, the gaol and whisky*
