Here is one
for those of you with a sweet tooth,
Samuel Gelston’s has added a new Cream
Liqueur expression with a chocolate
infusion to their line-up just in time
for Easter.
 Irish whiskey brand, Samuel Gelston’s
has expanded its offering with the
release of its latest expression –
Samuel Gelston's Irish Cream Liqueur - a
decadent Irish Cream liqueur which will
sit alongside its award-winning range of
whiskies.
An ideal Easter gift for the chocolate
lovers amongst you with a sweet tooth, they
say that their decadent new whiskey
liqueur has been created with the finest
Irish whiskey, smooth rich cream and
luscious chocolate which have been
expertly blended to create the indulgent
new expression.
Bottled at 17% ABV, with flavours of
milk chocolate and vibrant vanilla are
underpinned by smooth, rich Irish
whiskey. With a delicate spiced finish,
this versatile liqueur can be enjoyed
chilled on its own, in coffee and hot
chocolate, or as a delicious dessert
ingredient.
Established in Belfast in the 1830s, and
purchased by Harry Neill in 1869, the
Samuel Gelston’s brand is synonymous
with sourcing, bonding and blending some
of the finest single malt and pot still
whiskey from across Ireland. It has
remained in the Neill family for five
generations and is currently owned by
Harry’s great, great grandson Johnny
Neill who commented:
"The launch of our first liqueur is a
historic moment for my family who have
been making quality artisanal spirits
for generations. Our latest offering is
a real testament to the passion, skill
and craftmanship of our team who have
created what I believe is a perfect
blend of Irish whiskey, chocolate and
cream. We are confident that it will be
a real hit with drinkers and marks what
is set to be both a busy and exciting
year for the business."
You
will find Samuel Gelston's Irish Cream
Liqueur supermarkets and it will also be
available
along with the current Samuel Gelston's
Irish whiskey range from specialist online whisky retailers such
as
The Whisky Exchange,
Amazon
and

Samuel Gelston's Irish Cream Liqueur Review

Update 21st April: I had the pleasure of
tasting this today at a tasting lead by
Johnny Neill, great, great grandson of
Harry Neill who purchased the Belfast
based Irish whiskey brand in 1869, the
brand itself was established in Belfast
in the 1830s and has been brought back
to life by Johnny with the launch of a
range of young Irish whiskey's. Given
the surge in popularity of whisk(e)y
liqueurs these days Johnny has launched
this expression of Samuel Gelston's
Irish Cream Liqueur which has .
I don't normally review liqueurs but
there are some delicious whisky
liqueurs' out there today and this is
another one and it is very reasonably
priced, I see that it launches on
Amazon
on April 25th priced at £14.80.
William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
Taste:
A deliciously sweet exceptionally smooth
Irish whiskey infused with a mix of
sweetened double cream, milk chocolate,
butterscotch, vanilla and icing sugared
coconut.
Comment:
A deliciously sweet, moreish, creamy,
chocolate infused whiskey liqueur,
perhaps not something you would reach
for everyday but something different to
stick in the cabinet for when the mood
takes you for something sweet and
indulgent.
