five farms Irish cream liqueur – JOHNNY HARTE, CORK. 

Five Farms is a luxury Irish Cream Liqueur beverage, a sweet drink with vanilla, butterscotch and caramel fondue tones. Best served cold and on ice, if preferred or at room temperature. It’s also recommended to incorporate the liqueur into a cocktail, for example, try Five Farms Espresso Martini.

The provenance of the core ingredients is what sets Five Farms Irish Cream Liqueur apart from its competition. The quality Irish Cream is sourced from 5 dairy farms in Co Cork. The Irish Whiskey is produced by Irish Distillers in Midleton Co Cork and the neutral spirit is produced from milk whey sourced in West Cork from the Carbery group. A true taste of Ireland’s verdant landscape.

One of the hallmarks of the milk produced across the five farms from which the beverage is produced is the multiple generational experiences that are applied to the management of the family farms, the management of the grass pasture, and the care of the animals all to deliver a high-quality dairy ingredient for Five Farms Irish Cream Liqueur.
