Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey

The price per bottle for Proper No 12 has recently dropped to $20 USD around my area so I thought I'd go ahead and give McGregor's elixir a try. Boy do I regret that decision. This whiskey tastes like what I imagine an alcoholic Dr. Pepper with a few melted ice cubes would taste like. Oddly musty, a little bit fruity but mostly without character or real definition. On the plus side, if you used this as a mixing whiskey, you could skip the ice since its already so watered down. This is the kind of whiskey you chug while drowning in self loathing after snapping your leg while squaring up with one of your sworn enemies. Yikes! You know I just had to take a jab at "The Notorious".

This is the vanilla ice cream of whiskeys. Grand and easy to drink and all, but doesn't really taste like anything. Probably good for mixing. "Proper Twelve - Whiskey for people who don't like whiskey. "

Bitter

I found it to be a little bitter tasting. Tried it both neat and on ice. The ice helped.
