Distiller Notes
Proper No. Twelve™ Irish Whiskey is a triple-distilled blend of fine grain and single malt that is bourbon-barrel-aged for 4 years. The spirit is unbelievably smooth with notes of vanilla, honey and toasted wood. Clear golden liquid in appearance. Baked apple with a touch of honey and notes of sweet ripe berries make up the aromatics. Smooth and approachable with vanilla, honey and toasted wood. The finish is warming with creamy toffee notes.
Proof: 80
The result of an historically prohibitive tax placed on malted barley by the English crown, Irish Whiskey is most often produced from a combination of un-malted barley and other grains. Whereas most other Whiskeys are twice distilled, Irish Whiskeys are distilled three times in a column still and must mature in oak barrels for a minimum of three years. These intricate production steps combine to make them lighter, smoother and more approachable than other styles.
