It earned a Double Gold Medal at the 2010 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and took Best Spirit of Show at the 2010 Wine \u0026amp; Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA) Spirits Competition in Las Vegas — a remarkable distinction for a cream liqueur competing across all spirit categories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABV: 17% (34 proof)  |  Origin: Caribbean rum, bottled in Bowling Green, Kentucky  |  Style: Cream Liqueur  |  Producer: CarriboRumco \/ Three Springs Bottling Company\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eProduction \u0026amp; Heritage\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTres Leches Triple Cream is produced by CarriboRumco and bottled by Three Springs Bottling Company in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The base spirit is a blend of Caribbean rums married with real dairy cream, resulting in a liqueur that deliberately mirrors the layered sweetness of tres leches cake — the beloved Latin American dessert made with three types of milk. Where most cream liqueurs lean on Irish whiskey or neutral spirit bases, the Caribbean rum foundation here gives the blend a warmer, spicier backbone that distinguishes it from the broader category.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm cinnamon rises first, followed by a wave of fresh dairy cream and gentle rum sweetness.

Tres Leches also sits at 17% ABV compared to RumChata's 13.75%, giving it a slightly more spirit-forward presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Tres Leches good for cocktails?\u003c\/strong\u003e Its 17% ABV and well-defined cinnamon-vanilla-caramel profile make it a strong cocktail ingredient, particularly in coffee-based drinks, dessert shooters, and cream-forward mixed drinks where it contributes flavor rather than just sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is Tres Leches Triple Cream made?\u003c\/strong\u003e Tres Leches Triple Cream is produced by CarriboRumco using Caribbean rum and is bottled by Three Springs Bottling Company in Bowling Green, Kentucky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat foods pair well with Tres Leches?\u003c\/strong\u003e Flan and other custard-based desserts complement the caramel notes naturally. Churros dusted with cinnamon sugar echo the liqueur's spice. Fresh berries — especially strawberries — cut through the cream richness. Chocolate brownies or lava cake amplify the vanilla and caramel. Pecan pie bridges the sweetness with nutty contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes does Tres Leches come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e The standard and most widely available size is the 750ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Tres Leches Triple Cream worth the price?\u003c\/strong\u003e Tres Leches Triple Cream positions in the affordable-to-mid-range tier for cream liqueurs, and its Double Gold Medal at the 2010 San Francisco World Spirits Competition suggests quality that punches above its price point within the category.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhy Tres Leches Triple Cream?\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinning Best Spirit of Show at a major competition — competing not just against other cream liqueurs but across all spirit categories — is a rare feat that speaks to how well-executed this blend is. The tres leches cake concept is more than marketing; the combination of Caribbean rum, dairy cream, cinnamon, vanilla, and caramel genuinely replicates the dessert's layered sweetness. At 17% ABV, it occupies a useful middle ground — enough proof to stand up in cocktails, gentle enough to sip chilled on its own. In a cream liqueur market dominated by Irish whiskey-based options, the rum foundation gives Tres Leches a distinct identity that has earned it both critical recognition and a loyal following.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tres Leches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44837040292009,"sku":"25417","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/tres_leches_triple_cream__07999.jpg?v=1730477212"}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/collections\/tres-leches.oembed","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
