Proper No. Twelve is a blended Irish whiskey produced with the help of former Bushmills distillery manager David Elder. Featuring malt and grain whiskeys drawn from bourbon barrels, nearly 100 blends were created before deciding upon the one in the bottle.
Vanilla pod, floral barley and a touch of sandalwood.
Orchard fruit and honey notes arrive first, backed up by a kick of white pepper.
Drying oak heat and a drizzle of caramel.
I was a little excited to try this malt because some people have spoken highly of it, so, after after around a week I invested in a bottle, I can clearly say my excitement was short lived, what a waste of money. Really I was so disgusted with it and was tempted to ask for my money back.
If you’re a fan of whiskey, I’m sure you’ll find this enjoyable. I understand many of the negative reviews are left by anti-McGregor fans but in all seriousness, it’s quite nice. The bottle and label are well done, and the whiskey itself has a the “punch” you would expect, but goes down smooth. Fill up your flasks, stir your old fashioned, or shake up your sour. Either way you will pleased. (Better than Jameson, Jack Daniels, Wisers)
Don’t bother.
Tastes great
After hearing nothing but bad reviews about it thought I'd give it a try, picked up a 375 for the same price as a similar size Jameson. Not terrible but it's nothing remarkable. Really I'd just say it's thoroughly average.
