Set to rival ‘you know who’ in the market, this smooth blend of finest Irish whiskey, rich cream and luscious chocolate is ready to really mix it up.
A new departure for the venerable Irish whisky maker, this creamy drink is bottled at a mild 17% ABV and has a delicate spiced finish, making it ideal chilled on its own, in coffee and hot chocolate, or as a dessert ingredient.
Try these rich cocktails with Samuel Gelston’s Irish Cream Liqueur available from selected Tesco stores across Northern Ireland and The Drop Store RRP £14. The wider range is also available in Booths, Waitrose and specialist whisky retailers, and also online via samuelgelstons.com.
