Irish Mist liqueur is 35% abv. / 70 proof and supposedly dates back to a thousand year old recipe for "Heather Wine.'The color of Irish Mist is a medium amber gold. The aroma is that of fine whiskey, honey, herbs, baking spices, and vanilla notes. It's very full, complex, warm, and enjoyable.
The taste is of sweet Irish whiskey, tempered with honey, vanilla, and baking spices. Like the aroma the taste is warm, complex, and full. I like this straight in a snifter, on the rocks, or in cocktails. It's a perfect after dinner sipper, especially on these cold winter nights when you are snuggled up on the couch gazing into the fire. It's guaranteed to warm you up and mellow you out.
Cakes so amazing they'd be hard to cut into

Mellow, yes. Moderation is the key but the taste is one that will have most who try it for the first time wanting more. It goes nicely with dark chocolate, too.

Thanks so much for posting this! Irish Mist is one of the liqueurs that is served at the restaurant where I work. Just the other day the other servers and I were talking about how none of us really knew what it was or what it tasted like. Now I can tell them. Merci beaucoup! :)
