To determine which of the given options is an irrational number between 5 and 7, we'll evaluate each of the square roots:

1. **√6**: The square root of 6 is approximately 2.45, which is not between 5 and 7.
2. **√12**: The square root of 12 is approximately 3.46, which is also not between 5 and 7.
3. **√27**: The square root of 27 is approximately 5.2, which is between 5 and 7 and is an irrational number.
4. **√36**: The square root of 36 is exactly 6, which is rational and is between 5 and 7.

Thus, the only irrational number between 5 and 7 among the options provided is **√27**.
