Review: Baileys Chocolate Cherry Irish Cream
Baileys Chocolate Cherry Irish Cream was just launched and I was lucky enough to get my hands on a bottle a little early. It is one of six Irish Cream flavors Baileys currently creates for the US market. While I had heard rumblings of a new Baileys flavor to replace the recently departed Baileys with a Hint Of Mint Chocolate, I had not heard any specifics. My initial thought was Baileys might start bringing over some of the tempting flavors they have kept on their side of the pond. Flavors like Orange Truffle, Biscotti, or possibly even their Chocolat Luxe. While I have not given up hope of tasting those three flavors, I am very excited to break open my bottle of their new Chocolate Cherry. Baileys describes the taste as their Original Baileys blended with luscious chocolate and seductive dark cherries. I can’t wait. Read more

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

Review: O’Connor’s Caramel Irish Cream
O’Connor’s Caramel Irish Cream is made in Abbeyleix Ireland and imported by Fleetwood Distilling in Loma Mira California. Albertson and Albertson own stores are the only retail locations I’ve found O’Connor’s. After over one hundred spirit reviews the spirit review that has been viewed the most frequently has been my review of O’Connor’s Irish Cream. It only makes sense that I start my second hundred reviews with their Caramel flavored Irish cream. Read more
