Carolans

Carolans production is a four-stage process combining traditional expertise with modern, highly sophisticated technology:

---

1st Stage - The Blending

Irish whiskey and neutral spirit are carefully blended together in a vat to prepare the alcohol base for Carolans. When the right blend is achieved, it is mixed with the cream at a nearby dairy.

---

2nd Stage - The Mixing

Cream, water and stabilisers are mixed together at high temperatures in large stainless steel tanks. Stabilisers are essential to ensure that the product does not curdle. Achieving the right mixture is a delicate process and is tightly controlled using modern, sophisticated equipment.

---

3rd Stage - The Binding

After an appropriate period, the cream mixture is fed through stainless steel piping to a homogeniser. During this process the spirits, honey and flavours are fed into the mixture. The homogenisation process ensures that the cream does not separate and binds all the ingredients together.

The technology, which binds the cream and spirit in Carolans, is unique and highly specialised, ensuring long life and a full, fresh taste.

4th Stage - The Result

Following homogenisation the mixture is cooled and bottled at the modern Clonmel plant. Prior to bottling, samples are taken from every batch of Carolans for analysis and quality control. This close attention to quality ensures that the highest standards are maintained and only the best product is bottled.
