McGregor launches his own whiskey
Conor McGregor has been very busy training but he has also had time to release his own blended Irish whiskey called Proper No. 12. His company Eire Born Spirits has produced the whiskey at the Old Bushmills distillery in Ulster.
The name comes from McGregor’s Dublin postal district and he shared his thoughts on the whiskey: “We created close to 100 blends and ultimately selected what we knew was the one and only Proper whiskey blend. I respect other Irish whiskeys, but I am coming in strong, with passion and with purpose.”
