Connswater 2023 Blended Malt Whiskey

Connswater 2023 Blended Malt Whiskey carries the name of one of Belfast's lost distilleries. The original Connswater Distillery was founded in east Belfast in 1886 and, together with its neighbour Avoniel, belonged to the golden age of Belfast whiskey making. Production at both sites came to an end in 1929, and with it the Connswater name fell silent for many decades.

This bottling brings that historic name back as a blended malt Irish whiskey, a style made entirely from malt whiskeys rather than grain. It is bottled at 40% ABV in a 700ml bottle. With its roots in east Belfast and a name that recalls a once-thriving distilling district of the city, it offers a link between today's drinker and an important chapter of Ulster's whiskey heritage, and can be enjoyed neat or with a drop of water.
