I bought a couple bottles to give as gifts last Christmas after sampling it at my local package store; then I received a bottle as a gift and nailed it in two nights (like 80% of it in one sitting).
I am seeing it everywhere now and I am resisting buying it because I know I will pound the thing again. Dangerously good.
I'll have to check out Mr. BlackMy oldest daughter is home for the semester break and she has been making espresso martinis with an old bottle of Kahlua she found in our liquor cabinet. We started talking about White Russians, Black Russians and Mudslides, and I mentioned how I thought Tia Maria was considered the higher end coffee liquor. Then I started thinking about making a Mudslide with that, the Five Farms Irish Cream and Tito's.
The package store I hit yesterday was out of Tia Maria but they had Mr. Black, which I had never seen before. It was a few bucks more than the Kahlua or Tia Maria, and the guy said he thought it was better. It is made with vodka instead of rum, and it is 25% instead of 20%. I bought it and made cocktails consisting of equal parts (one dram) Mr. Black, Five Farms and Tito's, and half and half.
They were excellent. And I am feeling it today...
I have not seen that. I will tell her to look for it.I'll have to check out Mr. Black
This stuff is worth a try if you haven't had it:

Skrewball is a fantastic fun drink to shoot down.
It's like Southern Comfort for adults. You drank SoCo while in HS and college and as soon as you turned 21, you never touched it again.
Nearing one year anniversary of first tasting Skrewball. Drank it for first time on NYE last year.
Come summer, you should try making Mudslide and White Russian popsicles. Back in 2019 when we could still have neighborhood get-togethers, I made 3 different alcoholic pops, and they were big hits with the housewives.My oldest daughter is home for the semester break and she has been making espresso martinis with an old bottle of Kahlua she found in our liquor cabinet.

It is a thread about peanut butter whiskey. Not sure strict focus control is warranted here.Stop derailing threads.

Does need refrigeration and you need to blow through it pretty quickly, but yeah, homemade tastes richer and you can adjust sweetness and alcohol level to your liking. I used to make it a lot back when Bailey's was still a relatively new thing.Try making your own Irish cream. You'll never go back. Recipe is simple, but not low fat or low carb by any means.
Good to know. I looked for the Coole Swan at the large liquor store I go to because I was curious what the difference was, but they didn't have it. I don't care for white chocolate so it sounds like that wouldn't be a hit with me.So @8893 my wife wanted to try the Five Farms I got her. So I tried it side by side with Coole Swan. Can't say one is better than the other. The Five Farms has a mocha-coffee profile, and the Coole Swan is more white chocolate-vanilla. Both are better than Bailey's.
When you first mentioned this, I went looking for it at our state monopoly. Didn't have it. But now we do. And my wife is becoming a day drinker thanks to this stuff.If you like Bailey's, look for Five Farms Irish Cream:

The bottle I bought back in December didn't last 24 hours. I'm not buying it again until I need it, because I will find a reason to drink it if I have it.When you first mentioned this, I went looking for it at our state monopoly. Didn't have it.

Try the Coole Swan as well then. Mine slightly prefers it.
