McCormick brand will release irish cream

People in the Kansas City area will be the first to try the latest product from Holladay Distillery in Weston: a new small-batch Irish cream liqueur called Five Farms.

Five Farms gets its name from the five family-owned farms in County Cork, Ireland, that are supplying the high-quality, very rich cream used to produce the new liqueur. The cream is then mixed with Irish whiskey within 48 hours of collection, keeping it as fresh as possible. Aside from its fresh ingredients, Five Farms is set apart from its competitors by its whiskey content. According to a representative of Weston based McCormick Distilling Co., most competitors only use about 1 percent whiskey in their brands, but Five Farms has about 10 percent.

The Five Farms container is a wide-mouthed glass bottlewith embossed details, in the style that dates back to the early 1900s. Its closure is a ceramic swing-top cap, adding to the authenticity of the design and the reusability of the container. The black glass creates an elegant presentation and allows the bottle to be recycled. The bottle swings from a metal handle that is easy to carry and gives another nod to milk containers of the past.

The bottle and closure was developed specifically for this product by German based Systempack Manufaktur, a speciality bottle producer, that supplies complete packing solution around glass bottles.

McCormick also once again fired up bourbon production at the 161-year-old distillery in 2016, after a 30-year hiatus. The barrel-aged bourbon won‘t start hitting the market until at least 2019. In the mean time,the distillery is offering White Dog Whiskey, which is the raw distillate that comes fresh off the still.
