Proper No.Twelve Irish Whiskey by Conor McGregor 700mL
Proper No.Twelve Irish Whiskey by Conor McGregor is an Irish blend of malt and grain whiskeys aged in used American bourbon barrels . It's produced by UFC World Champion, Conor McGregor's Eire Born Spirits company.
McGregor used the world’s oldest licensed whiskey distillery in Ireland and worked with David Elder, a master distiller formerly of Guinness, to create a “unique” spirit “from the waters of Saint Columb’s Rill that flow through the alkaline-saturating limestone and basalt on their way to sphagnum peat lands.” This helps it acquire “the flavour that has been prized for centuries.”
Almost 100 blends were developed before the final blend became Proper No. Twelve, a triple-distilled whiskey described as a “properly balanced blend of the finest golden grain and single malt” aged in oak barrels.
Proper No.Twelve Irish Whiskey by Conor McGregor
Here is an excerpt of how Proper No.Twelve Irish Whiskey by Conor McGregor is made:
The finest barley is steeped, germinated and gently air dried. Using a traditional roller mill, the malt barley is then turned into a fine grist.
After mashing, the natural fermentation process produces the wash (essentially beer) with over 8% alcohol. The traditional triple distillation method uses copper pot stills, which create and fine-tune the proper character. After the first distillation, the strength of the spirit is increased through a second distillation with a low wine still. A third distillation in the spirit still, creates a cut above 80% alcohol. This captures the heart of the spirit.
Our coopers hand-select the finest former bourbon barrels in which to age our proper whiskey. Our spirit slowly ages developing through the years flavours of vanilla, honey and toasted wood. The blending of sweet Irish grain spirit and single malt Irish whiskey lies at the heart of Proper No. Twelve. Our Master Distiller selects casks that hold the rich character needed to craft Proper No. Twelve Whiskey.
