Black Irish Original Irish Cream by Mariah Carey
Black Irish Original Irish Cream by Mariah Carey is a 17% ABV (34 proof) Irish cream liqueur crafted in Ireland with aged Irish whiskey and dairy sourced from Irish farms, in this 750mL bottle. Launched in 2021 as the singer's first spirit brand after nearly two years of development, the Original is the flagship: freshly roasted coffee, milk chocolate, and warm spices folded into a silky cream base. The name nods to Carey's own heritage — Black and Venezuelan roots on her father's side, Irish on her mother's. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Every celebrity spirit has to answer one question — is it actually good? Black Irish earned its Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition the old-fashioned way: a genuinely silky Irish cream with real coffee and chocolate character, not a flavored afterthought. The butterfly on the label nods to Carey's 1997 album, and each flavor gets its own cap color. Browse more cream liqueur, all liqueurs, or the full Black Irish range.
Tasting Notes
Silky and rounded: freshly roasted coffee and milk chocolate lead, warm baking spices follow, and the aged Irish whiskey base gives it a gentle, warming close. Rich without heaviness at 17%.
How to Enjoy
Over ice is the classic; in hot or iced coffee it's transformative. It also makes a proper White Russian or mudslide. Serve chilled; once opened, keep upright and enjoy within a few months.
