I was surprised by how light and flavorful it was compared to Bailey's, which I like but always comes across heavy and chemical. Coole Swan is definitely going to be my Irish cream of choice from now on.Lowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704903596997447763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-52388718859488688982008-06-02T12:21:00.000-04:002008-06-02T12:21:00.000-04:00Bought Coole Swan on my way out of Ireland this pa...Bought Coole Swan on my way out of Ireland this past month. I am in love. I shared my bottle with many friends at a party after our trip. not one person said no, and not one person regretted drinking it. I only wish i could get more. I am in Oregon and will have to special order it. BUT it is WORTH IT!!

But safe? They're pretty safe, with the booze in them. The thing to do is open them, drink them, and buy more.<BR/><BR/>Bill...you <I>know</I> the answer. It's NYC, I'm afraid. The stuff was evidently a bigger success in Ireland and the EU than they expected, and supply is tight.Lew Brysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084380741402026573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-45814277198265477442008-01-27T14:57:00.000-05:002008-01-27T14:57:00.000-05:00Sweet, its about time we got some of this stuff on...Sweet, its about time we got some of this stuff only in NY, now do you mean the city or the state??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-31297061923097955112008-01-27T14:12:00.000-05:002008-01-27T14:12:00.000-05:00Irish creme liqueurs make me uneasy.I think they a...Irish creme liqueurs make me uneasy.<BR/><BR/>I think they are delicious, and if there is a fresh bottle at a party I might pour myself some.<BR/><BR/>But often I find it in an already opened bottle that has been gathering dust in the cabinet since who knows how many Christmas parties ago...<BR/><BR/>How long can an opened bottle go before it is no longer safe to drink?<BR/><BR/>I did some Googling on the subject and found an interesting article from the Chicago Tribune:<BR/><BR/>Here's the link:<BR/><BR/>http://www.hotel-online.com/News/PR2007_1st/Jan07_AgeingLiquor.html<BR/><BR/>And here's an excerpt:<BR/><BR/>"What is it?
