Though I don’t know what one of the girls was doing, as she wrote “the alcohol goes up your nose”. Well – this was the 14th disguised bottle in the taste test line-up.

There wasn’t much to choose from in the scores once we got beyond the top five, but our girlies’ thoughts were oh so varied.Two pals had been convinced this was Baileys and were quite surprised. I thought it had a little note of citrus – where that came from only knows.

I gave my pals the rules – drink lots of water – keep the glasses clean – be honest – write down your scores and your comments. Then get set, glasses at the ready .. let’s go. One p al told me afterwards: “I really loved trying all these. Who would have thought they could all taste so different, it was a real eye-opener.” A cream liqueur is a snuggly comfort cushion as the cold winter wind whips around outside. Now its getting cold I asked some of my girlie pals to help me blind-taste 14 cream liqueurs.Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA.

A cheeky chum sneaked in a couple of extra tastes of this (no hiding place when I’m there) and said “I really like this one – it has a very chocolatey flavour”. I thought there was more emphasis on dairy cream than alcohol. One girlie threw a curve ball saying she could smell and taste butterscotch. I tried again – and you know, I did too.

It was powerful on the alcohol, but not as much as a Baileys by comparison. One chum said “this is creamy but not too strong” and another … “very smooth to taste”. Another described “marzipan” and one of the sisters considered, then declared it had a toasted coconut macaroon flavour and was “nice and different”. She gave a *thumbs-up*. Although on second thoughts, she might have been trying to hang onto the chair. I thought the cream and some chocolatey notes combined really well. A nice fling with vanilla.

One pal, abandoning the wall and now sitting down, said it looked and smelled like gingerbread and was a perfect “Christmassy cream”. I wrapped all 14 bottles in tin foil and then popped a number on them – don’t worry, by the time it got round to the blind-tasting I’d forgotten which was which. One of the girls said it was “stronger than it smells” which probably explains why she was gradually leaning into the wall.
