History
Proper No. Twelve is an Irish whiskey brand whose supplied reference material identifies Conor McGregor as its founder. The available evidence does not specify a founding date, the circumstances of the brand's launch, or its corporate ownership history, so those details cannot be established here. The brand's official account focuses on the development of its whiskey. It says that the team tried close to one hundred blends before choosing the final recipe. The brand describes its aim as producing a smooth and approachable whiskey while challenging convention and drawing on tradition. According to the official production description, malted barley is selected and milled, then steeped in water from a nearby spring to release natural sugars. Yeast is added to the resulting liquid, which ferments for 50 hours into a low-alcohol wash. That wash is transferred to handmade copper pot stills for triple distillation. The brand says the resulting spirit develops a smooth, fruity character. The spirit is matured for a minimum of four years in charred former bourbon oak barrels. The brand says this maturation develops flavours including vanilla, honey and toasted wood. After maturation, its master blender selects aged single malt and grain whiskies and combines them according to a secret recipe. The official product pages identify two offerings: Proper No. Twelve Original, described as an Irish whiskey blend of single malt and golden grain, and Proper No. Twelve Apple, which combines the whiskey with natural flavouring and crisp apple flavours. The supplied sources do not give dates for the launch of either product or substantiate other dated company milestones.
