This is Baileys®
How does the most powerful flavored spirit brand in the world2 find its way from cows grazing in the verdant fields of the Emerald Isle?
The unique blend of fresh Irish dairy cream, the finest spirits, Irish whiskey, sugar and chocolate flavor makes Baileys Original Irish Cream the definitive Irish drink.
A dramatic concept when conceived in 1974, R & A Bailey & Co’s new drink was the most successful launch of a new spirit in over 30 years. And today, is the seventh best-selling global premium spirits brand of any kind.1
Its success is attributed to its unique flavor. Because we only use the freshest Irish dairy cream, it means the flavors slowly seep into your mouth. On your first sip the initial flavors are released onto your taste buds. But as the temperature of the Baileys Irish cream, rises the flavors continually, change resulting in a symphony of flavors.
The blending process preserves the cream in a natural way. That means we don’t need to use preservatives and every bottle of Baileys Irish cream is guaranteed to remain fresh for up to two years. Regardless of whether it’s refrigerated or been opened.
