Music icon Mariah Carey has announced Black Irish, an Irish cream liqueur. Made with aged Irish whiskey, Black Irish is available in Original Irish Cream, Salted Caramel and White Chocolate. It’s a blend of whiskey and dairy sourced from Irish farms. Black Irish White Chocolate also uses Belgian chocolate for a rich palate, the company adds.

“I have been putting my heart into this project for almost two years and I am so excited to finally share this news with you all. I wanted to create something that embodies the holidays and gives everyone a reason to celebrate year-round, and I really think we have done that with Black Irish.” - Mariah“

And as for the name, Carey chose Black Irish as "a playful nod to her Black and Irish lineage": Her father was of Black and Venezuelan descent, and her mother has an Irish background. The fact that the liqueur is itself an Irish cream feels like a bit of a "chicken or the egg situation" as far as which came first the name or the product, but the brand states that Carey is "a fan of Irish creams" and points to how well Irish cream pairs with her huge holiday hit, "All I Want for Christmas Is You."

Black Irish perfectly blends decadent Irish cream with aged Irish whiskey for a rich luxurious liqueur with aromas and flavors of freshly roasted coffee, milk chocolate, and warm spices. The perfect Irish Cream for sipping straight or blending in your favorite cocktails.
