Conor McGregor’s Proper no. Twelve brand is a “gimmick” that tastes “medicinal” and “industrial,” according to scathing whiskey reviewer on YouTube.

Philip Dwyer, who runs the channelWhiskey Wednesday, posted his assessment of McGregor’s triple distilled Irish malt earlier this week, and did not hold back.

“F—— hell,” Dwyer told his thousands of subscribers as he took his first sip.

“There’s that additive, really syrupy, sugary note, and then there is just that medicinal, industrial note beneath it, which isn’t pleasant or complimentary in any single way.

“Taste wise: it’s pretty bad. Like, it’s probably one of the most generic, uninteresting products you’ve ever tried.”

He later said: “I’m not sure what more there is to say about it but it’s just a facade, it’s a gimmick. It is a trend, it’s something that, in ten years’ time, nobody will remember.”

“Steer clear, don’t go near it.” Dwyer concluded as he threw the mostly full bottle in the trash.
