There was only one other cherry chocolate cream that I was able to find in my history, and that was from Bailey's. The thing was, I didn't like it as much as I like the original Bailey's, and I'm still kicking myself for waiting so long to try the original. This one is from Wisconsin, and I am hoping that the knowledge of making cheese has somehow transferred to cream.
As usual, this is a lite chocolate milk color, and it needs more chocolate. In the bottle it looked a lot less dense than it does in the glass. I thought it was watery from the look, but I think it was refraction from the glass of the bottle. The chocolate and cherries are both here to sniff, and I want to sniff it more. Well, to be honest, I want to drink this. So, I'm going to sip it.
First sip is shockingly different than the other creams I was going to compare it to. It isn't carbonated, but I just... feel like I sense carbonation. And it's like a cherry coke, if that cherry coke had more milk in it. Imagine the milk-and-Pepsi that Lavergne would get on Lavergne and Shirly, but substitute cherry Pepsi instead. That's what it tastes like. Is there chocolate? Geeze, I hope so, but I was so overtaken with the strangeness, I'm not sure I tasted it.
Subsequent sips reveal more cherries than a cherry Coke or Pepsi is likely to have, and there is the subtle backing of chocolate, but it is WAY too subtle for this cream. The whiskey has wood that it adds to the mix, but the cherries are just a bit too much. They overwhelm everything to the point that it's hard to enjoy anything else.
Bottom Line: Not the best cream out there.
2.0/5
