Carolans Irish Cream Welcomes Two Indulgent New Flavors: Strawberries & Cream and Chocolate Cream

New 17% ABV expressions bring strawberry and chocolate flavor to Carolans' signature blend of Irish whiskey, farm fresh cream and natural honey.

BARDSTOWN, Ky., Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Carolans Irish Cream is expanding its family with the launch of Carolans Strawberries & Cream and Carolans Chocolate Cream, two new indulgent expressions designed to bring fresh flavor, creamy versatility and a little more fun to the liqueur aisle.

Made with Irish whiskey, farm fresh cream and natural honey, the new offerings build on the smooth character of Carolans Irish Cream with two new craveable flavor profiles. Carolans Strawberries & Cream combines the sweet, juicy flavor of ripe strawberries with rich, creamy notes for a smooth, fruit-forward experience that's deliciously easy to enjoy. Carolans Chocolate Cream combines rich milk chocolate truffle with notes of toffee and coffee for a smooth, decadent experience with layers of chocolate indulgence in every sip. Both expressions offer an approachable, indulgent way to enjoy Carolans in everything from seasonal cocktails and coffee to dessert-inspired serves.

"Carolans has always been about making everyday moments more enjoyable, and these new flavors give fans more ways to make the brand their own," said Aaron Wilke, AVP at Heaven Hill Brands. "Whether poured over ice, added to coffee, mixed into a cocktail or enjoyed in a playful new serve, Strawberries & Cream and Chocolate Cream bring the familiar smoothness people love from Carolans to flavors that are instantly inviting."

The new flavors arrive alongside a tongue-in-cheek campaign from the fictional Carolans Dairy Department, where confidentiality is taken very seriously, particularly by Carol Ann, an opinionated cow and self-appointed "Head of the Herd". In the campaign's official "Non-Disclosure Agreement," consumers are introduced to the new flavors through an "Official Herd Tasting Protocol," which recommends tasting each expression on its own before bringing the herd together in an Irish Neapolitan: equal parts Carolans Strawberries & Cream and Carolans Chocolate Cream over ice. Follow along as the Herd suggests more ways to enjoy Carolans on social media @carolansirishcream.

The campaign also spotlights new occasions for the Carolans family. Strawberries & Cream is positioned as an easy addition to the growing "dirty soda" trend, with Carol Ann's recommended serve featuring two ounces of Carolans Strawberries & Cream topped with a favorite soda over ice. Chocolate Cream brings its own dessert-inspired versatility, starring in rich coffee creations and indulgent cocktails such as a Chocolate Cream Espresso Martini.

Carolans Chocolate Cream and Carolans Strawberries & Cream are available starting this month in 50 mL and 750 mL bottles at 17% ABV and an SRP of $17.99 for the 750mL bottle. For more information and delicious recipes, visit www.carolansirishcream.com.
