Is the name so bad it's good?

marvin80

Sh*t name, something like McGregor might have suited better (unless that exists already).

Calling a 3 year old whiskey "proper twelve" has to fall foul of some advertising laws.

Would is making it?

I don't think that name will fly in Europe.

12 refers to Dublin 12 where crumlin is,not to the age of the whiskey

and it's not ambiguous at all of course.

The big question is...

IDL, Bushmills or Cooley

Dj Stiggie

It's a Bushmills three year old blend that's going to retail for $24.99 in the States, so at least it's not a rip off. But I also won't expect anything special from it.

Edit: He also couldn't call it 'Notorious' because O'Hara's own that trade mark. And they in no way used his likeness for their Notorious Red IPA a few years ago...

NasserShammaz

Meh

Surely a 3 year old would be junk no?

Sorry to sound ignorant here but are you saying that this is a bushmills whiskey then?

When did he open the distillery or did he?

Is this like Teeling and Cooley all over again?

And if he hasn't then whats the point in not having it branded with his name or nickname,

I don't think he did, the tweet said he's been working on this for 3 years.

You can't open a distillery and produce a 3 year old whiskey in 3 years.

If I had to guess (and I am guessing so please correct me if you've better details) this is little more than a marketing exercise.

Whatever distillery (bushmills in this case apparently) create a new blend

attach mcgregors image

$$$

that's all it is from what I can tell, he didn't create this whiskey

NasserShammaz

Like David Beckham makes aftershave but at least he has his name on it

He was probably raging when he was told he couldn't use Notorious

At €45 a pop too is very dear.

I can't see it lasting long.

Agreed, then ditch the idea. it only works if it has his branding proper 12 means nothing to anybody and implies its aged etc etc ....

if its just Bushmills then sell it as such . Looks bad on Bushmills if this is just a quickway of bumping up the price on an average whiskey, it makes then look cheap and is more damaging to their brand than it will ever enhance mc gregors

L1011

Crested 10 dropped the 10 due to confusion issues, the 12 will have to go here too I'd say

Ardent

McGregor and Bushmills cashing in on his popularity while it lasts. Will probably taste like piss.

Order a crate and get a free trolley to hurl at a bus carry it to your home or manshed...

Or it's intended purpose... brown paper bag in a field hurling abuse at passers by and finding your "true calling" by being paid for beating people up because you were a big enough d*ckhead around your own area.

Be the scobe, feel the scobe, drink the sco... ew, no.

Why? It probably will be junk, but not because it's 3 years old.

wexie

I dunno, maybe it's just an entirely unfair prejudice on my part.

I just wasn't expecting a product that is supposed to reflect the true nature of Crumlin to be particularly refined or high class.

Distilleries produce stock that is repackaged and rebranded and flogged by independent merchants the world over, all the time. There is no bad reflection on Bushmills in this.

Yeah you would never catch Beckham doing something to make a quick buck off whiskey.
Its a partnership
