About Bailey’s
First produced in 1974 and touted as the original Irish Cream Liqueur, Bailey’s helped invent an entire category. It was launched in Dublin, Ireland, the first cream liqueur of its kind to reach the market. Rich Irish cream is emulsified with Irish whiskey, vanilla, and their own proprietary cocoa extract, a blend that stays smooth and stable in the bottle. That marriage of dairy and whiskey was a genuine innovation at the time, the first product of its kind to reach the market, and it remains the benchmark that every other Irish cream is measured against. Decades later it is still one of the most recognized after-dinner liqueurs in the world.
Tasting Notes
Smooth, rich, and creamy, with rounded notes of chocolate, vanilla, and a gentle warmth of Irish whiskey underneath. It is sweet and dessert-like, easy to love, and just as good chilled as it is in coffee.
