Coole Swan Irish Cream Liqueur is an Irish cream produced from a blend of a single-malt Irish whiskey, Belgian white chocolate, and fresh cream. Its alcohol content is 16 percent by volume. Made in Ireland, Coole Swan has headquarters on the owners' family farm in County Meath and bottled is in Bailieborough, County Cavan.

History

Coole Swan launched in Ireland in March 2007. To mark the occasion, British film director Mike Figgis created "Coole Stories" a series of short films, specifically for the brand's debut.

Bottle

Based on the Victorian Milk Bottles, the glass bottles are produced by Hrastnik in Slovenia and decorated in Poland by Dekor Glass.

Manufacture

Callebaut Belgian white chocolate is added to fresh milked cream. The two are then blended in a heating process. Finally, the single malt Irish whiskey is poured into this mix.

Cocktails and recipes

Coole Swan can be served:

  • Neat or over ice, but always chilled.
  • In coffee or hot chocolate.
  • In cocktails.
  • In desserts and smoothies. Irish chef Neven Maguire is a known supporter of Coole Swan, often making his desserts with the liqueur.

Awards

Since its launch, Coole Swan has won a number of awards and accolades, including Best Liqueur and a Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
