best coffee cream ever. Beats out that imitation stuff you get at the store. The baileys non alcoholic stuff.

I deviated from the recipe a bit, made it much more chocolaty that your supposed to.. but i find its fun to experiment

Recipe or it didnt happen.

I second that

Got myself a cheap ish bottle for the weekend, Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban. Had it before, and it's not bad at all.

Nice whiskey. If I remember rightly it's finished off with two years in a port cask

That's exactly right. It's not at all bad really. I'm going to get something different this weekend, maybe I'll start to venture down into the lowland areas.

You try many irish malts? Can't match the Scots for quantity or variety but our quality is just as good.
Irish whiskey is triple distilled to scotchs double distillation so it's a smoother drink.
You don't get the peaty notes that you would because Irish whiskey uses hot air instead of smoke. Though I do quite like the peaty taste of a scotch, Islay whiskys are especially peaty.

I've had a few, a buddy prefers them to the Scottish. I like the smoke and I'm growing to like the peat more.

I like a peaty one myself though sometimes it can be a bit overpowering and you can't taste anything else. A lot of Irish malts would have quite fruity notes.
Maybe it's just because I'm irish that I push our own. Though I like the scots too, I married one! Lol

2 1/4 Cups heavy cream
14oz sweetened condensed milk
1 Cup Jameson Whisky (any other will suffice)
2 Tbsp. Chocolate Syrup
1 Tsp. Vanilla
1 Tsp. Almond extract
ground cinnamon (didnt measure, just threw in a random amount)

Its really good
Has a slightly sharp scent from the whisky, other than that it kidna smells like a chocolate covered cherry

Give it a try, its way better than store creamer, especially the fake irish cream from baileys.
its not so creamy that it overpowers your coffee and turns it into a latte. + the whisky and coffee mix perfectly, like a match made in heaven

Scotch whiskies and peat / smoke aren't synonymous—there are plenty of malts which don't have either. Speyside malts aren't really smokey; they tend to be lighter and fruitier, probably more like an Irish whiskey. I have a feeling lowland malts are similar, though I don't think I've had a whisky from that region as of yet.
