Great tour with a great guide

We decided to do the tour after finishing the Crumlin Road Gaol experience as the McConnell distillery is in one of the prison wings. It turned out we were the only two on the 1.00pm tour with guide Sam who was knowledgeable and kept our attention throughout with a great delivery and a real passion for the McConnell history. We've done a few distillery tours and this was by far the best. Also, full credit to McConnell's for the transformation of the prison wing.
