Black Irish Salted Caramel Irish Cream by Mariah Carey
Black Irish Salted Caramel Irish Cream by Mariah Carey is a 17% ABV (34 proof) Irish cream liqueur that takes the brand's silky Irish base — aged Irish whiskey, Irish-farm dairy, crafted in Ireland — and folds in sweet, buttery caramel with a touch of salt, in this 750mL bottle. It is the highest-rated of the trio: 96 points from Wine Enthusiast, plus a Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The 96-Point Caramel
Salted caramel is the flavor that can go cloying in lesser hands; here the salt does real work, cutting the buttery sweetness and letting the whiskey-cream base show through. Wine Enthusiast's 96 points make it the critical standout of the Black Irish line — the bottle to reach for when the dessert course calls.

Tasting Notes
Sweet and indulgent: buttery caramel and brown sugar up front, a distinct flicker of sea salt, then the familiar silky Irish cream and a whisper of aged whiskey warmth. The salt keeps it balanced — decadent, not heavy.
How to Enjoy
Dessert in a glass: pour over ice, drizzle over vanilla ice cream, or spike a hot chocolate. It makes a salted-caramel White Russian worth writing home about. Serve chilled.
