Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey

Smells fruity. Tasted creamy. Creamy vanilla and pear tones to it. Smooth sip. Oaky too. My friend Riley tried it and called it “cottony.”

Incredibly light-bodied (too much actually) with hints of vanilla

Nose - cereal grain, ethanol, lemon, shortbread, green apple, peach, bitter herbal and floral notes, cinnamon, vanilla, mild to moderate ethanol burn. Taste - light caramel, vanilla, cereal grain, cinnamon, ethanol, lemon, apple skin, orange zest, shortbread, bitter herbal notes, dusty corn, mild to moderate alcohol bite, finishing short with shortbread, bitter citrus, and light baking ethanol flavors. Coming off the heels of Blue Spot, I’m ready for a disappointment with this one. And I got one. Well, maybe it’s not a disappointment if I was expecting it, but I digress. The nose is quintessential cheap, young Irish whisky. It’s mild, grainy, slightly citrusy, moderately bitter, and blandly sweet. There’s really not much to say about this one. It’s a worse version of Bushmills Original and Jameson, and probably closer in quality to the Total Wine Busker miniature I tried a while back. It’s not undrinkable, but I wouldn’t actively choose to drink this again. Thank you to @ContemplativeFox for providing the sample!

Rough, aggressive, and abrasive, only fitting that Connor McGregor is behind this spirit, and that it feels like it going to knock me on my ass after attempting to drink it. It burns like hell and taste like all the oils with none of the sweet aspects you would expect from a whiskey.

Crème brûlée, apple, pear, some barrel and alcohol on the nose. Very weak on the palate, with flavors of grain and minimal elements of sweet vanilla, bread and something bitter. It’s not flavorless, but it’s pretty close.
