Conor McGregor launched Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey with co-founders Audie Attar and Ken Austin in September 2018. He played a big role in taking the brand to great heights before selling the majority stake to Proximo Spirits in a reported $600 million deal.
The brand derives its name from a place in McGregor's past, Crumlin, in Dublin 12. During the launch of his whiskey brand, 'Notorious' said:
"I come from a place called Crumlin, in Dublin 12. It’s a place dear to my heart. It’s where I learned how to fight; it made me who I am today. It’s a place I’m still very much a part of every single day of my life. So, that’s where the name came from. It’s proper Irish whiskey and Twelve is my hometown. Growing up on the streets of Dublin 12, I learned the values of loyalty and hard work. I respect other Irish whiskeys, but I am coming in strong, with passion and with purpose. I am the founder of this company and I am going to give it my all."
