McConnell’s Distillery is the second new distillery to open in Belfast within the past year reflecting the resurgence in popularity of Irish whiskey worldwide. Titanic Distillers became Belfast’s first working Irish distillery for almost 90 years when it opened last year in the city’s Titanic Quarter. Housed in the historic pumphouse, built in 1911 as part of the infrastructure needed to build the massive White Star transatlantic liners, Titanic Distillers produces a range of whiskeys and vodka.
The distillery also offers four immersive tours: the Signature Tour; the Premium Tour; the Dock Tour and the Legacy Tour. All the tours explore the historic building, which retains all the original pump equipment and internal features, and include tastings of Titanic Distillers’ award-winning Irish spirits. Some of the tours also include a visit to the Thompson Graving Dock, where the Titanic and her sister ships were built, and which was the largest dry dock in the world at the time it was constructed.
