Taste The Nation: Meet the five West Cork families behind the 'Formula One' of cream liqueurs

Michael Coleman and his sons James and Cian with the cows who make cream for Five Farms cream liqueur.

Five West Cork family farms are involved in supplying the milk used in the creation of the award-winning Five Farms cream liqueur, hailed by its co-founder, Donegal man, Johnny Harte as the ‘Formula One’ of cream liqueurs.

The farmers involved are the O’Mahonys, the Colemans, the McCarthys, the Tuthills, and LJG Dairy, a partnership that originated from the Sexton family farm. The Clonakilty farms were selected geographically due to the logistics involved in sourcing a supply of batch cream from individual farmers. The bottle design is a nod to the milk containers of the past.
