Apple, Meet Irish Whiskey
The base is Proper No. Twelve's signature blend — triple-distilled from golden grain and full-flavored malted barley for smoothness — and the apple layer lands like biting into a crisp, juicy apple: Granny Smith brightness up front, cooked-apple and honey sweetness through the middle, a cidery fade at the end. A portion of every case sold supports donations to local first responders worldwide. Browse whisky or see the full Proper No. Twelve lineup.
Tasting Notes
Nose: fresh green apple, sweet cider, caramel, oak, and browned butter. Palate: cooked apples and honey sweetness balanced by oak and crisp green peel. Finish: bright apple acidity mellowing into dark cidery tones, brown sugar, and a smooth whiskey warmth.
How to Enjoy
Chilled as a straight pour, over ice, or mixed — try it with ginger ale or lemon-lime soda, or in an Irish Apple Mule with ginger beer and lime.
