Micil Irish Cream Whiskey Liqueur (700ml)

Volume: 700ml           ABV: 17%           Age: No Age Statement           Country: Ireland

Micil ‘Connemara’ Irish Cream Liqueur is a delightful and unique take on the classic Irish cream category. It’s crafted by Micil Distillery, a family-run distillery in Galway with a long tradition of producing poitín and Irish whiskey.

What sets this Irish cream apart is its connection to the Connemara region and its use of local ingredients. The cream used in the liqueur is sourced from grass fed cows in Connemara, known for its lush pastures and rich dairy heritage. This gives the liqueur a distinct creamy texture and a slightly sweet flavour.

Micil Connemara Irish Cream also incorporates a subtle hint of peat smoke, a nod to the region’s tradition of producing peated whiskeys. This adds a layer of complexity and intrigue to the liqueur, setting it apart from other Irish creams.

The exact recipe is a closely guarded family secret, but it’s known to include Irish whiskey, fresh cream, honey, and a touch of peat smoke. It’s bottled at 17% alc/vol, making it a smooth and enjoyable drink.
