O'maras Creams
Irish country cream from County Laois, blended with fine wine.
The story behind O'maras
O'maras comes out of Abbeyleix, County Laois, in the middle of Ireland's dairy country. The recipe is Pat O'Mara's, the bottle launched in 1994, and First Ireland Spirits still makes it there today. Cream is drawn from farms within about 150 km of the facility, then blended with a fermented alcohol base, fine wine, chocolate flavor and a quiet note of coconut.
That wine base is the tell. Most cream liqueurs lean on whiskey or neutral grain spirit; O'maras was the first major brand to fold fine wine into the blend, which is why it drinks lighter and why you'll find it in wine shops that can't stock spirits. It sits at 13.9% ABV, 27.8 proof, and carries no age statement because it's bottled fresh to keep the cream honest.
