Fantastic Tasting and Tour
This was one of the best experiences of my Belfast trip. It exceeded my expectations! Our tour guide was fantastic and really knew the product and history of the current location of McConnells Whisky. I raved about the experience the whole way back to NY. I recommend this tour as a must see if you're visiting Belfast.

Great tour and enjoyable experience
Great tour and premium sampling at the end. They are a relatively new distillery and off to a great start. Everyone was warm and friendly.
