Proper No. Twelve Irish Apple Whiskey is a remarkable creation by Conor McGregor and his team at Eire Born Spirits. This blend combines the original Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey with natural apple flavour, creating a unique and refreshing twist on a classic Irish whiskey. The whiskey is crafted in one of Ireland’s oldest distilleries, reflecting both traditional craftsmanship and innovative spirit.
The whiskey is a blend of fine grain and single malt, aged in bourbon casks and triple distilled for exceptional smoothness. The introduction of apple flavour adds a distinctive freshness, making it stand out in the flavoured whiskey category. This new addition to the Proper No. Twelve family showcases the brand's commitment to quality and innovation.
