Irish Cream HS

RDA/ Velocity

% Used/ 1.5

Coil/ Clapton W/ 45

Steep Time/ 2 weeks Wicking/ Full

Mouth Feel - Smooth and super dense heavy on the palate, and light on the nose would give it a 10 out of 10 on the density scale no throat hit.

Flavor Properties- Super Rich cream with a hint of vanilla, a touch of almond, and a very light touch of white chocolate. Slightly eggy, very buttery, and a very light sweet note.

Relatable Flavors - Honesty this is like no Irish cream I tasted before, there's none of the warmth you expect from an alcohol flavor, and nothing like Bailey's Irish Cream.

It's like drinking a glass of heavy cream with almond butter and coco butter whit just a touch of vanilla.

Off Flavors - Almost imperceptible Chalky flavor with a lingering aftertaste.

Position In The Recipe - Being that it is so dense my opinion is that it belongs in the base.

Pairings - Other creams, and ice creams, coffee's, chocolates, vanilla's, the whole list of nut flavorings, ( I'm interested in trying it with pistachio ) spice flavorings like horchata. Try adding a alcohol flavoring such as Kentucky bourbon to finish off the perception of an Irish Cream.

I think the review is pretty spot on. I've never noticed the chalky aftertaste, might just be me.

I had a recipe with HS Irish Cream and TFA Caramel Cappuccino. Cant find my notes, but it was very good.

Yeah like I said almost imperceptible, but once I noticed it was hanging around for a while, and actually the only reason I think there's chocolate (thinking white chocolate) in there.

Nice review. I get that chalky taste from FA Irish Cream too, it's far from imperceptible in that one.

Really? I thought FA Irish Cream was delicious around 2-2.5% mixed with some cake batter. Very subtle flavor as creams are but definitely get a great flavor from it.

Yeah :\ The flavor was pretty good, but I got a chalky taste and pretty bad throat hit when I tried it at the time in various mixes. I'll give it another chance sometime I guess.

Well my Irish Cream is one of the first flavors I ever ordered so is over a year old at this point. Probably even coming on on 2 years. So it may be slightly less potent now?

These are getting easier and easier to read, I'm glad you've worked on them in that respect. Super awesome work and notes, glad to have someone like you around here. (In case you haven't gotten enough praise yet ;))

I've got a store bought Irish Cream right now. Is it just me, or do they underflavor literally everything at the stores?

When i used to smoke hookah like a cool kid 15 years ago, the flavor was much MUCH stronger, even after passing through filtration and everything else. Ecigs have always been "meh"

Really? I think the complete opposite, most of the huge lines atleast up here (Premium labs, Twelve Monkey's, One Hit Wonder) just jack up the sweetener.

Honestly, probably need to get a RDA and try it. You might have, who knows!

I always felt Hookahs to be really bland on flavor.
