Two Stacks is delighted to present their Double Cream Liqueur. A project under works for over a year, with the ambition to create a luxurious, complex and most of all delicious Irish cream liqueur. Working with the great people at Robert A Merry & Co in Clonmel, developing a cream liqueur unlike anything that has come before it.
Blending 8 times the whiskey and twice the butter cream content compared to the market standard, we have pushed the boundaries with premium Irish Whiskey & Irish Cream Liqueur to make the most indulgent drinking experience to customers.
'’It may seem like Irish cream liqueur has a long historical tradition in Ireland, but one must remember that the drink was first invented only as far back as 1974’’ says Donal McLynn
"Since then, it has reached every corner of the world, with 8.8 million 9 litre cases consumed last year. Given the products G.I protection to Ireland, it is truly a global success story, a drink recognised and beloved by all who seek it out and its popularity continues to grow each year.
But it’s only been in the past couple of years, the sector has seen a more premium offering, with smaller craft brands offering unique and exciting alternatives to the bigger players. We see more demand emerging as this trend continues’’.
Quality before Quantity
Bottled at 17.5%, the blending of its contents made more unique by using the award winning Two Stacks Blenders Cut whiskey. A combination of having 4 different styles of whiskey matured from Bourbon, Oloroso and virgin oak casks with a doubling of butter cream has elevated the drinking experience to a whole new level. Coupled with the presence of the 2% peated malt, subtle enough not to overpower the taste but noticeable on how it enhances the overall complexity.
‘’We could have used a base whiskey grain spirit for the drink, but this wasn’t offering anything new to the market, we wanted to excite our customers, we wanted to offer something not tasted before. Yes, it is more expensive to produce, but this plays second fiddle to quality."
Two Stacks Cream Liqueur will be on release February with an RRP £25/€30, available through our web shop and select online retailers, with nationwide listing across indie stores over the coming months.
Tasting Notes
A rich and luxurious mouthfeel, vanilla milkshake sweetness intertwined ever so gently with a soft touch of peated butterscotch and chocolate. Devine.
“What’s better than sipping on an Irish Cream in front of the fire after a nice meal? Sipping on Irish cream made with premium, complex blended whiskey and double the cream”
