Review: Blue Chair Bay Banana Rum Cream
Blue Chair Bay Banana Rum Cream was just released along with a Vanilla flavored rum. While Vanilla joins their previous four year round rum varieties, Banana Rum Cream is a limited release, following their Coconut Rum Cream which was offered last fall and winter. It is crafted with their white rum that is distilled and aged in oak barrels at the West Indies Rum Distillery in Barbados. Real cream and caramelized banana flavors are then blended before bottling at 30 proof. Read more 
Review: Maloneys Irish Country Cream
Maloneys Irish Country Cream is crafted by Terra’s, in Bailieboro, County Cavan Ireland. Terra’s also creates Molly’s, and is the contract producer of Coole Swan, Brady’s, and O’Dowd’s Irish Cream. If that’s not a full enough resume, their management team also helped build the Emmets and Baileys line of Irish Cream liqueurs. All of these Irish Creams are produced and bottled in the original Emmets building that was later purchased by Baileys. It is now home to Terra’s, the world’s largest family owned producer of Irish Cream liqueurs. There are a number of things I look forward to. This list includes the start of football season, weekend’s, vacations, and sampling Irish Cream liqueurs made by Terra’s. Maloney’s Irish Country Cream is made with rich Irish dairy cream, premium milk chocolate, Madagascar vanilla, grape wine imported from Spain, and Irish spirits. It is bottled at 27.8 proof, lighter than the 34 proof their whiskey based Irish Cream liqueurs are bottled at. Read more
Review: ODowds Irish Cream Pumpkin Spice Liqueur
ODowds Irish Cream Pumpkin Spice liqueur is one of two pumpkin spice flavored Irish creams created by Terra in Bailieboro Ireland. The other is sold under the Molly’s label. It is made in small batches using fresh dairy cream, aged Irish Whiskey and the finest natural ingredients. They follow an old O’Dowd’s family recipe. O’Dowd’s is sold exclusively at Sam’s Clubs but not every Sam’s Club carries the Pumpkin Spice flavor. Read more
Review: Baileys Salted Caramel Irish Cream Liqueur
Baileys Salted Caramel Irish Cream Liqueur was introduced just in time for Thanksgiving, or as some people call it, the start of Irish cream season. It replaces Baileys with a hint of Caramel. In one year Baileys has completely revamped their flavored line of Irish Cream. Gone are their Hint of Caramel, Coffee, Mint, and Hazelnut. These flavors have been replaced with Chocolate Cherry, Vanilla Cinnamon, and now Salted Caramel. By my count that leaves us one down from last year, maybe Baileys has a pre-Christmas surprise. If that’s the case I’m hoping they start sharing their Orange Truffle or Chocolat Luxe flavors. These are two flavors Baileys has kept to themselves across the pond. Read more
Review: Fultons Harvest Apple Pie Liqueur
Fultons Harvest Apple Pie liqueur was introduced in 2013. It was the first and to my knowledge it is still the only apple pie cream liqueur on the market today. Heaven Hill Distillery also introduced the first pumpkin pie cream liqueur with their Fultons Harvest Pumpkin Pie liqueur in 2010. FH Apple Pie is made with neutral grain spirits, and natural flavors from apple, caramel, brown sugar, and cinnamon. It is bottled at 25 proof in Bardstown Kentucky and it is available from September-November, or while supply lasts each year. Read more
Review: Blue Chair Bay Coconut Spiced Rum Cream
Blue Chair Bay Coconut Spiced Rum Cream was just introduced and it will only be available for a limited time. Every bottle they created has already been sold to their distributors and once its gone, it’s gone. It joins the four year round rums created by country music star Kenny Chesney and Mike Booth, the Master Distiller at The West Indies rum Distillery in Barbados. They start with their Coconut rum and add real cream, with island and holiday spices before bottling at 30 proof in a holiday red bottle even Santa would approve of. Read more
Review: Kerrygold Irish Cream Liqueur
Kerrygold Irish Cream liqueur was just launched in Florida and Illinois with their eye on National Distribution soon. It is Imported by Imperial Brands, a subsidiary of Belvedere S.A., the distillers of several brands including Sobieski vodka. It is a partnership between Belvedere S.A. and the Irish Dairy Board. If the Kerrygold name sounds familiar to you it is the same Kerrygold, behind the famous Irish butter and cheese. Their Irish cream is made with Irish cream from grass fed cows, oak aged whiskey, Irish spirits, and luxurious chocolate. It is made in Dublin and bottled at 34 proof. Read more
Review: Tippy Cow Shamrock Mint Rum Cream
Tippy Cow Shamrock Mint Rum Cream arrives in stores just in time for St. Patrick’s day. It is one of four rum cream flavors made in Pewaukee Wisconsin by Midwest Custom Bottling. They start with Wisconsin dairy cream and add Caribbean rum, natural flavors and yes, some certified color to give it a Shamrock Shake appearance. With Baileys no longer making their mint flavored Irish cream, Tippy Cow Mint Shamrock should be a big seller this week. Read more
Review: Tippy Cow Vanilla Soft Serve Rum Cream
Tippy Cow Vanilla Soft Serve Rum Cream was introduced in February 2014. It is one of four rum cream flavors made in Pewaukee Wisconsin by Midwest Custom Bottling. This is also where Rum Chata is created. They start with Wisconsin dairy cream and add Caribbean rum, natural and artificial flavors. They promise a flavor experience reminiscent of the vanilla soft serve cone pictured on the bottles label. Read more
Review: Tippy Cow Chocolate Rum Cream
Tippy Cow Chocolate Rum Cream is one of four Caribbean Rum creams that were introduced in February 2014. It is made in Pewaukee Wisconsin by Midwest Custom Bottling with fresh Wisconsin dairy cream, Caribbean rum, and natural flavors. Midwest is the group behind Rum Chata, so gaining shelf space in liquor stores shouldn’t be an issue. From the chocolate milk flavor to the glass quart milk style bottle, Tippy Cow appears to be an Adult Chocolate Milk clone. Their rum base and 14% alcohol content thou is quite different than the vodka base and 20% alcohol content Adult Chocolate Milk is created with. Read more
