Bailey's Original Irish Cream Liqueur
Baileys Original Irish Cream is the 750ml icon that invented the category — a 34-proof (17% ABV) blend of triple-distilled Irish whiskey and fresh Irish dairy cream, with cocoa and vanilla, made since 1974. More than two billion glasses are poured every year, in over 160 countries, and it remains the best-selling cream liqueur in the world by a distance.
The trick is the emulsion: real cream and whiskey homogenized into a silky, stable pour that never separates, with the alcohol itself keeping it fresh. It drinks like dessert — pour it over ice, spike your coffee, blend it into a Mudslide or a B-52, drizzle it over ice cream, or bake it into cakes and brownies. If your bar cart has a sweet tooth, this is the bottle it reaches for.
Tasting notes: Light caramel and glossy in the glass; soft vanilla bean, milk chocolate, and fresh cream on the nose; a lush, velvety palate of sweet cream, cocoa, and gentle whiskey warmth; a smooth, lingering finish.
Frequently asked questions:
What is the alcohol content of Baileys? 17% ABV (34 proof) — enough to preserve the cream without preservatives, smooth enough to sip over ice.
Does Baileys need to be refrigerated? Not required, but refrigeration helps keep it at its best. Store it in a cool place away from sunlight, and it keeps up to two years from manufacture — even opened.
Is Baileys dairy-free? No — it is made with real Irish dairy cream.
