Conor McGregor Whiskey – Conor McGregor Proper No. 12

when a bottle of Conor McGregor’s new whiskey, Proper No. Twelve was sent to Business Insider’s London bureau, it made its way through each desk quicker than currency and cigarettes get passed around prison blocks.

McGregor used the world’s oldest licensed whiskey distillery in Ireland and worked with David Elder, a master distiller formerly of Guinness, to create a “unique” spirit “from the waters of Saint Columb’s Rill that flow through the alkaline-saturating limestone and basalt on their way to sphagnum peatlands.” This helps it acquire “the flavor that has been prized for centuries.”

Almost 100 blends were developed before the final blend became Proper No. Twelve, a triple-distilled whiskey described as a “properly balanced blend of the finest golden grain and single malt” aged in oak barrels. A bottle costs $29.99. The green bottle and boring label are certainly not memorable. And neither are the contents so they say.

Conor McGregor Suit

In the summer of 2017, kicking off the promotional tour of his bout with Mayweather, McGregor wore a spiffy pinstripe suit which, upon closer review, revealed the pinstripes to be made by lines of the phrase “F*** You.” About two weeks later, David August, the suitmaker, Inc., announced it would release a limited edition of the profane garment to satisfy demands. The made-to-measure three-piece wool suit would cost $6,500, with an estimated completion time of 12 to 15 weeks according to the company website.

Conor McGregor Next Fight

McGregor made his long-awaited return to the Octagon last month (January 2020) against Donald Cerrone. UFC president Dana White has lifted the lid on his recent meeting with Conor McGregor and the promotion’s former CEO Lorenzo Fertitta. The trio had a rendezvous at the Palms Resort and Casino in Las Vegas a few days after his demolition of Donald Cerrone at UFC 246.

Their meeting took place at the Unknown Bar, which is in the hotel that Fertitta owns, and appeared to indulge themselves with several glasses of whiskey – which has become a tradition for them after fights. Understandably, many assumed the topic of McGregor’s next fight was a subject of trio’s conversation – a summation that was reached following the Irishman’s comments in the post-fight press conference.

White, however, insists business wasn’t discussed during their meeting. “No,” he told ESPN when asked if future plans were at all discussed. “No business. [We were] just talking about the fight, family – just all normal stuff that you and you go and hang with your friends and talk about. The exact same stuff.”

McGregor’s clash with Cerrone was his first outing in over 15 months and saw him pick up his first win in over three years. The 31-year-old is hoping to have an active 2020, setting his sights on three outings this year.

One fight which has also been touted for McGregor is a welterweight clash with fan-favorite Jorge Masvidal, who went to great lengths to get the attention of the UFC’s poster boy at UFC 246. White, however, has other plans for ‘Gamebred’, saying: “Masvidal fights Usman for the title at 170lbs. That’s a no brainer.”
