Review: Proper Twelve Irish Whiskey
Proper Twelve Irish Whiskey was recently released. August 2017 MMA fighter Conor McGregor announced he was launching a new Irish Whiskey brand to be named Notorious. The Notorious name was already taken so brand founder and developer Conor McGregor settled on the Proper Twelve Irish Whiskey name. Conor was born and bred in the Dublin suburb of Crumlin. Proper Twelve pays tribute to where it all began. Dublin 12 is the postal code for the Crumlin region. Proper Twelve is crafted at Ireland’s oldest distillery, The Old Bushmills Distillery located on the Northern Coast of Ireland in the village of Bushmills. Conor sampled nearly 100 blends before deciding on the final product. Proper Twelve is made from a blend of golden grain, full flavored malted barley and fresh spring water. It is triple distilled in copper pot stills and aged a minimum of three years in bourbon barrels. Sweet Irish grain spirit is blended with the single malt Irish whiskey by Distiller and Master Blender David Elder, before bottling at 80 proof. $5 from every case sold of Proper Twelve will be donated to local first responder organizations and charities.
