Five Farms took the opposite route: it's the world's first farm-to-table Irish cream, and it drinks like a product someone actually cared about.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cream comes from five family-owned dairy farms in County Cork, and it's blended with triple-distilled Irish whiskey within 48 hours of collection, in single batches rather than one endless run. It's bottled at 17% ABV and, notably, carries around ten times the whiskey of a typical Irish cream, which is why it tastes less like sweetened dairy and more like a proper spirit-led liqueur. It picked up a 97-point Chairman's Trophy at the 2018 Ultimate Spirits Challenge, the highest score an Irish cream had ever received there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose is butterscotch, caramel and vanilla bean. The palate is genuinely rich, dulce de leche and fresh cream up front, then a run of coffee, coconut and bittersweet chocolate, before a clean whiskey finish cuts through the sweetness and stops it feeling heavy. That whiskey backbone is the whole point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePour it over ice after dinner and it's a treat in its own right. It lifts an Irish coffee, drowns happily in cold brew, and turns a simple hot chocolate into something for grown-ups. At this price it sits above the supermarket standard, and the quality of the cream and the whiskey ratio justify the step up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Serve\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe well chilled over a couple of ice cubes in a short tumbler, or straight from the fridge. It also stirs beautifully into hot or iced coffee. Keep it refrigerated once opened.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Drink It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoisdale is a fine spot for an after-dinner cream over ice with live music. Dukes Bar in St James's does quiet, classic nightcaps. The Connaught Bar will happily fold it into a dessert-style serve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLovely alongside a sticky toffee pudding or a wedge of dark chocolate torte. It also flatters a simple affogato.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Decant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56925307863364,"sku":"HO33601CNV","price":30.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0858\/2551\/9940\/files\/HO33601CNV.png?v=1784037251","url":"https:\/\/checkout.houseofdecant.com\/products\/five-farms-irish-cream-liqueur-70cl","provider":"House of Decant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
