Review: McConnell’s Is an Ideal $30 Irish Whiskey

McConnell's Irish Whisky

McConnell’s Irish Whisky (42% ABV) is a blend of Irish malt and grain whiskies that have been rested in bourbon casks for at least five years. The Sherry Cask expression (46% ABV) is additionally finished in Oloroso Sherry Casks for about six months.
