The new states are Iowa, Oregon and Washington State. By the end of July, Holladay Distilling, which imports the brand from County Cork, Ireland, will add Alabama, California, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York and North Carolina.
Holladay said additional states will be added in August and September, bringing total distribution to 30 states by October and full nationwide distribution by early 2019.
Five Farms is a single batch Irish Cream Liqueur from County Cork, Ireland, that derives its name from the five family-owned farms in the region that provide the product’s rich dairy cream. It is made with premium 10-year-old, triple-distilled Irish Whiskey, and contains 10% Irish Whiskey while most brands use less than 1%. This difference is significant, resulting in an intensity of whiskey flavor that sets Five Farms apart from every other Irish Cream Liqueur in the world.
The brand has enjoyed a successful early launch in Missouri and Wisconsin and was awarded the Chairman’s Trophy at the 2018 Ultimate Spirits Challenge with a score of 97, the highest score ever awarded to an Irish Cream at this competition. “The response to this brand has been remarkable,” said Mick Harris, president of Holladay Distillery. “Both retailers and consumers have been excited by the authenticity, the quality, and the taste of Five Farms. Demand is high and we’re working hard to get it into as many hands as possible.”
