In a world first for Irish whiskey, this limited-edition release has been finished in White Mulberry Wood felled in central Hungary, where the local climate creates the perfect growing conditions. The wood is then harvested and air-dried for two years at the Kádár sawmills in Tokaj before being transferred to a cooperage in Budapest. The relatively high porosity and medium toasting of the exceptional Mulberry Wood casks impart elevated flavours of wood spices and enhanced toffee sweetness, along with a natural golden hue to the whiskey.

The Belfast-based distillery closed in 1958. Before that the McConnell’s had dedicated 154 years to a single pursuit: producing the finest whisky in all of Ireland. Many whisky drinkers believed that they achieved their goal, making McConnell’s the most famous Irish whisky of the time. The McConnell’s distillery was a large industrial compound that was a centre of industry and innovation on the banks of the River Lagan in Northern Ireland. Internationally it became one of the most sought-after spirits to leave Irish shores, and they struggled to keep up with demands.
