Proper No.12 Irish Whiskey 40% 70cl

MMA fighter and boxer Conor McGregor has stepped into the ring of whiskey making with Proper No. Twelve, a blended Irish whiskey produced with the help of former Bushmills distillery manager David Elder.

Featuring malt and grain whiskeys drawn from bourbon barrels, the team created nearly 100 blends before deciding upon the one in the bottle. Proper No. Twelve takes its name from Dublin 12, the area where McGregor grew up.

Conor McGregor says that his goal with Proper Twelve is to create a whiskey that can be enjoyed by everyone, whether they're a whiskey drinker or not. So far, it seems to be working – the whiskey has been well-received by critics and consumers alike.

Tasting notes from the Master of Malt team:

Nose Vanilla pod, floral barley and a touch of sandalwood.

Palate Orchard fruit and honey notes arrive first, backed up by a kick of white pepper.

Finish Drying oak heat and a drizzle of caramel.
