Coole Swan launched in Ireland in March 2007. ^[4] To mark the occasion, British film director Mike Figgis created "Coole Stories" a series of short films, specifically for the brand's debut. ^[5] Irish chef Neven Maguire is a known supporter of Coole Swan, often making his desserts with the liqueur. ^[6]

Bottle

Based on the Victorian Milk Bottles, the glass bottles are produced by Hrastnik in Slovenia and decorated in Poland by Dekor Glass.

Manufacture

Callebaut Belgian white chocolate is added to fresh milked cream. The two are then blended in a heating process. Finally, the single malt Irish whiskey is poured into this mix.
