Okay, here’s a blog post about my experience trying out Conor McGregor’s liquor, written in the style you requested:
So, I finally got my hands on a bottle of Conor McGregor’s Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey. I’ve been seeing this stuff everywhere and, you know, being a bit of a whiskey fan (and a casual MMA fan, I’ll admit), I had to give it a shot. Figured I’d share my little adventure with you guys.
The Hunt
First off, finding this whiskey wasn’t as easy as I thought. It’s popular, man! I went to a couple of liquor stores near me, and they were all sold out. Apparently, everyone else had the same idea. Finally, I tracked down a bottle at this little out-of-the-way place. Felt like a real treasure hunt, haha.
First Impressions
Okay, got the bottle home, and the first thing I noticed was the packaging. It’s pretty slick, I gotta say. Black bottle, simple label, looks classy. Definitely something you wouldn’t mind displaying on your shelf. Then, I popped the cork and poured myself a glass. The color’s a nice, warm amber. Looks inviting, right?
The Taste Test
Now for the important part – the taste. I took a sniff first, you know, like you’re supposed to. Got a bit of that classic Irish whiskey sweetness, some vanilla, maybe a little oak. Smelled pretty good! Then I took a sip. It’s smooth, for sure. Not harsh at all. I tasted some caramel, some honey, and yeah, that vanilla’s definitely there. It’s not super complex, but it’s definitely easy to drink. I could see myself sipping this neat, or maybe with an ice cube or two.
Mixing It Up
Of course, I had to try it in a cocktail too. Made myself a simple whiskey sour. Just some Proper No. Twelve, lemon juice, simple syrup, and an egg white. Shook it up real good. It worked pretty well in the cocktail. The whiskey’s flavor didn’t get lost, but it also didn’t overpower everything else. I think it will be good in an Old Fashioned, I will try it next time.
Final Thoughts
- Overall, I’d say Proper No. Twelve is a solid Irish whiskey.
- It’s not going to blow your mind with complexity, but it’s smooth, tasty, and easy to drink.
- Good for sipping neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails.
- If you’re a Conor McGregor fan, you’ll probably like it even more.
- Is it worth the hype? Maybe not entirely, but it’s definitely a decent whiskey for the price.
So, yeah, that’s my little review of Conor McGregor’s Proper No. Twelve. I enjoyed it. Gave it to my friends to try, and most of them thought it was great. If you see a bottle, grab it and give it a try. Let me know what you think! Just a regular guy sharing his whiskey journey, one bottle at a time. Cheers!
