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.
And its Trash.
MMA must surely stand for mediocre Malt Alert! A 100 blends created before choosing this one? makes you wonder how grim the ones rejected must have been or was Conor himself doing the tasting and likes the taste of caramel toffees that have been left in the tin of quality street for the last 5 years. I really am curious as to how you can make a blend so boring and flat and tasting of just liquid E150A spirit caramel? I know it is easy to knock these celebrity endorsed Whiskies (very easy actually)but this makes Mr Beckham's Haig Club/man feel like a work of genius when compared to this feeble effort. It lingers long in the memory for all the wrong reasons and a bit like that awful cheap aftershave your elderly relative used to buy me every Christmas, leaves a bad taste. Avoid at all cost even if you are a fan of Mr McGregor. The Whisky Flaneur
This must the worst whiskey I ve ever tasted, fit for toilet just.
Absolute pish
Was given some Proper Twelve, tried it, gave it back. Got talking about it at a local bar, seems bars are being given a bottle free from their distributors as they aren't moving. I understand why.
