Reviewed March 2023McConnell's was born in 1776 and went dark in the early 1900s following a distillery fire and the advent of Prohibition. In 2020, the brand was resurrected. What's in the bottle is a five-year-old blended whiskey, showing honey and coconut aromas. The palate offers golden raisin, red apple and vanilla, leading into a clove and pepper finish punctuated by a final cigar smoke exhale. Yes, the label says “whisky” without the “e,” defying Irish whiskey convention. (KN)

Whisky Advocate
Aromas of honey, vanilla extract, dried banana, and clove, with green herbal notes of parsley stems and kale. Dark sugar sweetness, vanilla, baked citrus, clove, and peppercorn flavors, though the spices don’t overwhelm the mellow mouthfeel, and it rounds off with vanilla toffee, sliced banana, herbal grain notes, and lingering spice. Worth getting to know this whiskey well to appreciate its full potential.
