Okay, so I got curious about Conor McGregor’s alcohol ventures, you know, Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey and the Forged Irish Stout. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about, so I decided to do a little taste test myself. Here’s how it went down:
Round 1: Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey
First, I grabbed a bottle of Proper No. Twelve. I’m not a whiskey connoisseur, but I’ve had my fair share. I poured myself a glass, neat, just to get the full, unadulterated flavor.
My first impression? It was surprisingly smooth. I expected a bit more of a bite, considering McGregor’s fiery personality, but it was actually pretty mellow. I noticed some vanilla and honey notes, which was nice. I also tried it with a couple of ice cubes, and that opened it up a bit more, making it even easier to drink.
Overall, I’d say it’s a decent whiskey. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s definitely enjoyable and easy to drink. It isn’t expensive stuff.
Round 2: Forged Irish Stout
Next up was the Forged Irish Stout. I found this one at his pub, The Black Forge Inn. I love a good stout, so I was pretty excited to try this one.
The first thing I noticed was the creamy head. It looked really inviting. I took a sip, and it was rich and smooth. The flavor had that classic roasted, chocolatey thing going on, which I really enjoyed. It wasn’t too heavy, which is good, because sometimes stouts can be a bit much.
I think this stout is a winner. It’s flavorful, well-balanced, and goes down easy. It’s the kind of beer I could see myself having a few of, especially on a chilly evening.
The Verdict?
So, after my little experiment, what do I think of Conor McGregor’s alcohol? Well, I’d say he’s done a pretty good job. Both the whiskey and the stout are solid, enjoyable drinks. They’re not overly complicated, but they’re well-made and taste good. Honestly, I was expecting something more gimmicky, but I was pleasantly surprised. I think that the both of them are worth the money spent.
