Proper Twelve Irish Whisky 1L

This is Irish whiskey for nights when you want flavour, not homework. Proper Twelve brings a warm, honey-and-vanilla core with a gently spicy edge, so it works when you’re mixing for friends or just chasing that classic Irish whiskey comfort.

It’s made in Ireland and keeps the profile crowd-friendly without being boring. Think cereal-grain sweetness up front, toasted wood in the middle, and a peppery finish that reminds you it’s whisky, not dessert.

• Nose: Honeyed grain, vanilla, light orchard fruit, a touch of fresh oak
• Taste: Toffee and vanilla lead, then toasted oak, baking spice, and a little black pepper warmth
• Finish: Medium length, drying oak and spice, with a last flicker of sweetness

What makes it a smart pick for your shelf is how versatile it is. That vanilla and toffee note plays nicely in a Whiskey Sour, while the pepper and oak give enough backbone for an Old Fashioned that doesn’t fall flat. It also holds its own in a simple highball when you want something easy but still recognizably whiskey-forward.

If you’re newer to Irish whiskey, this is a friendly place to start because the flavours are clear and familiar, honey, vanilla, toasted wood, but there’s still enough spice to keep things interesting. If you’ve been around the block, it’s a reliable mixer that doesn’t disappear the second you add citrus or bitters.

Bottom line, Proper Twelve is an easy-going Irish whisky that still shows up with real notes you can point to. Stock it for casual pours, cocktail nights, and the “what should we make?” moments when you want one bottle that can handle the job.

Fun Fact: The name “Proper No. Twelve” is a nod to Dublin 12, the neighbourhood where Conor McGregor grew up.
