It’s officially been one year since Conor McGregor’s Proper 12 whiskey was released.

Although there are mixed reviews on the taste, it’s no secret that it’s been a huge financial success for the Irishman.

And to celebrate its one-year anniversary, McGregor is contributing to a good cause. He revealed that for every sale of Proper 12, his company sets aside five dollars for donations to first responder organizations.

That tally has reached $1 million as he now plans on getting the funds in the right hands:

“Happy 1st birthday to @properwhiskey!!! What a journey it has been so far!” McGregor wrote on Instagram. “We are now in 8 countries to date, with many more planned for 2020! I am so thankful to you all for your support and love of PROPER No. TWELVE!
I also want to thank the fine Irish women and men who have worked so diligently at the distillery and beyond…what an amazing team we have!

“When we started this business, something very important to me was to give back. For every case we sell, my company donates $5 up to 1 million dollars per year to first responders. I am very proud to announce that we have already hit the 1 million dollar mark! This is all thanks to you! Our fans! Thank you all ? In the New Year, we will begin donating the first million dollars to first responder organizations. My team is vetting it all out now to be sure it goes into the proper hands. Thank you all for the support! Sláinte”

Conor McGregor has sent Jon Jones a congratulatory gift for his UFC 232 victory.

Jones defeated Alexander Gustafsson this past weekend (Sat. December 29, 2018) in the main event of UFC 232 on pay-per-view (PPV). Now, Jones is once again the UFC light heavyweight champion of the world. Yahoo Sports’ Kevin Iole recently reported that, after speaking to Jones, “Bones” told him McGregor sent him and his team a bunch of Proper 12 Whiskey:

“Ran into @jonnybones in the hotel lobby and he said @TheNotoriousMMA sent him and his team a bunch of Proper 12 whiskey!”

McGregor received a bit of criticism for the move. Jones has notably had issues with alcohol and drugs in the past, leading to detrimental affects on his MMA career. One fan responded to McGregor and said the Irishman is a bad influence. “The Notorious” responded by saying “I prefer the term “influential””. However, McGregor soon deleted the Tweet:

McGregor is currently awaiting diciplinary action from the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC). He and his team were involved in a post-fight brawl after his loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in October.

While he’d like an immediate rematch against ‘The Eagle,’ McGregor is prepared to face another top contender before fighting for the title again.
