The Tyrconnell is a historic brand of Irish whiskey that has been revived by the Kilbeggan Distilling Company's Cooley Distillery owned by Suntory Global Spirits, a subsidiary of Suntory Holdings of Osaka, Japan.
The brand was previously owned by the Watt Distillery, which (according to the company) dates back to 1762.
The Tyrconnell was their flagship brand, and was named after a racehorse owned by Andrew Alexander Watt.
