Review: Chila Orchata

Review: Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream
Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream is made in small batches using Buffalo Trace Bourbon and a cream liqueur. Originally only available at their distillery in Franklin County Kentucky, it is now bottled in Rochester New York. This has allowed them to increase the distribution of this product. Packaged in a brown glass, bell shaped bottle to protect the cream within, it features their trademark torn label with a buffalo, and weighs in at 15% alcohol. Irish cream liqueurs are typically bottled at 17%. However, unlike Irish creams where most contain grain spirit and Irish whiskey, Buffalo Trace only uses bourbon. Read more
Review: Ricacha Horchata
Ricacha Horchata is made with 12.5% alcohol by Crosby Lake Spirits in Princeton Minnesota using rum from Barbados, cream, and natural cinnamon flavors. At a time when Dean’s Milk which only has a 2-3 week shelf life is introducing its Flavor Tight bottle to protect its milk from light, Ricacha goes against the grain. Standing out like a day light walking vampire against a sea of light protected cream liqueurs on the liquor store shelf, Ricacha flaunts its body in a clear see through bottle. The packaging is both modern and attractive with the font painted on the bottle and a cork included cap. Priced $4 less than Rum Chata and offering a $10 rebate at my local liquor store it was begging me to try it. I did. Claiming half the fat and less calories than the leading brand I didn’t know what to expect. Read more
