Visitors learn about the special relationship that this farm has with the world renowned liqueur and of course the Baileys tasting workshops are a highlight of the experience.

Best practice in modern farming techniques has brought this family run farm to both national and international prominence in recent years.

Focusing on the highest values in ‘sustainable’ food production has put the farm to the forefront competitive and efficient production.

Environmental integrity is perfectly preserved and maintained through modern production methods aimed at reducing carbon footprint.

Five hectares of the land is given over to fen bog, natural woodland and wild meadow where a large variety of flora and fauna thrives under protection of Irish and EU law.

The brothers add to the experience of visitors by bringing together other food providers such as local cheese, chocolate and honey makers which can be booked as part of the farm experience.

A popular attraction for business groups there is also a dedicated conference centre and ‘Farm Barn’ which accommodates up to 330 guests.

I did a search but couldn't find anything, or at least the right search combination.

Bailey's is one of my wife's favorite drinks, so it'd be great if we were able to do some sort of factory tour or Irish cream tasting event during our trip.

Sounds like a pretty good tour alright!

Thanks Cavan, for that clarification.

And good to know I'm helping the country when ingesting it :o))

Aye, and the best place to see a Baileys cow is at the Virginia Agricultural Show next July - lol

I have heard, however, that the Smithwick brewery tour in Kilkenny is well worth doing (but unfortunately closed on our one day there).

How many calories in that recipe, bean? Hardly any I'd say. Especially if you go for low fat Werthers

Aww darn, that's too bad! It would be a good idea as it seems that lots of people love Bailey's. It's a little easier to drink than the hard whiskey liquors, but oh well!

Speaking of fun Bailey's recipes, we always use ours to make smoothies:

Take 1 or 2 ripe bananas, add 1 cup of ice, and then add 1/2 cup of baileys in a blender. Blend till smooth and creamy, add a little vodka if you want it to be stiffer drink.

Probably one of our favorite drinks!

The World’s first Farm-to-Table Irish Cream Liqueur

Exclusively sourced and produced in County Cork, Ireland, Five Farms is the world’s first farm-to-table Irish cream liqueur. County Cork is Ireland’s largest and southernmost county, home to generational family-owned farms that dot the coastline where the land meets the sea.

The cows of County Cork are outside 300 days of the year, grazing in lush pastures and soaking up the sun and the ocean air. The families who run these farms don’t just tend to their herds, they care for them. They are deeply committed to giving them the best quality of life.

THE HISTORY

The diverse landscape of County Cork includes everything from rugged coastline to lush countryside, dotted with quaint villages in between. The mild climate and abundant rainfall are ideal for the hundreds of family-owned dairy farms in the region, and the centuries-old tradition of distilling authentic Irish whiskey is an industry that thrives to this day.

Baileys Irish Cream, one of Ireland’s most successful exports, celebrates 40 years

Enterprise ireland invests $700k in baileys, the world’s best selling cream liqueur..

The world renowned Baileys Irish Cream turned 40 this past November - as a birthday present, Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney announced a new $700k partnership between Baileys and Enterprise Ireland.

As the world’s best selling cream liqueur, the very successful Irish export will have even more power than it already does; its launch in 1974 saw a groundbreaking innovation of Irish cream mixed with Irish whiskey that took over four years to perfect.

Initially it was created for women with the belief that they deserved a better choice of drink when spirits like whiskey and stout were mostly targeted at men. By five years after its launch led by Steve Wilson, the liqueur was selling over one million cases per year and inspired the creation of an entirely new category of drink for women and men alike.

"We kept building bigger factories but it still took us five years for production to keep up with demand," Wilson said.

The brand is a major contributor to Ireland’s rural economy. It uses over 250 million liters of Irish whole milk annually, and around 82 million bottles of Bailey’s are sold each year to 180 different countries, said the Merrion .

Coveney visited the Baileys production facility on Nangor Road in Dublin on Monday to mark the brand’s 40th anniversary and to announce the new partnership .

“Since Baileys went into production in 1974 it has become a brand that is synonymous with Ireland and with Ireland’s rich agricultural heritage,” Coveney said.

“It is now the sixth best-selling duty free brand globally with strong sales in China, North America, Latin America and the Caribbean. Key to this success is the combination of both tradition and innovation, using Irish milk sourced from 40,000 dairy cows.

“Baileys has developed a brand that continues to appeal to people all over the world. The partnership with Enterprise Ireland will ensure that the plant, which already is the largest buyer of milk in Ireland aside from co-ops, can invest further in Ireland’s dairy economy bringing further benefits to this important sector,” he said.

Enterprise Ireland provides funds and support for companies to expand their activities, thereby improving efficiency and growing international sales. The bulk of the funds will go toward increasing the sustainability of the site at Dublin’s Nangor Road, where Baileys has been produced and bottled since 1974.

Though Baileys was an innovation in itself 40 years ago, many other successful innovations stemmed from the brand as well, such as Baileys Chocolat Luxe, or Baileys Dulce de Leche sold exclusively in Mexico.

“This includes upskilling of employees and the site itself, to increase the sustainability of the brand,” the Merrion said. “The partnership will also enhance the Research and Development element of this export driven brand with the ultimate objective being to increase the business and therefore grow the rural economy.”

“Baileys is an Irish brand with a global presence a reputation for excellence which showcases our high quality dairy and distilling sectors. Today’s partnership will contribute to Ireland’s dairy sector, exports and the Irish economy generally,” said Michael Cantwell, Head of Enterprise Ireland Food Division.

Recently Baileys released the advertising campaign ‘Here's to us' which is female-centric and is designed to introduce a new generation of Millennial women to the brand. The launch is the first series in the Baileys campaign that celebrates female friendships, expressed through a ‘girls’ night out’ in different parts of the world.

Colin O’ Brien, Managing Director of Baileys and Head of Supply with Diageo said: “Baileys has always been an innovative product; back in 1974 it set itself apart in a market that was dominated by whiskey and stout.

“Today it is a market leader because we bring together the very best of dairy and distilling while continually exploring new tastes our marketing approach, production, supply pricing and innovation strategies.

“Our partnership with Enterprise Ireland will ensure that we can continue to be a number one Irish brand that has appeal right across the world,” he said.

From Bottle to Bliss: Mastering the Art of Baileys Irish Cream

Baileys Irish Cream has long stood as a hallmark of indulgent liqueurs, seamlessly blending the rich flavors of Irish whiskey and cream with a hint of cocoa and vanilla. This iconic beverage, originating from Ireland, has captured the hearts of connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike with its smooth, velvety texture and versatile appeal. In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the history, making, and the myriad ways to enjoy Baileys Irish Cream, celebrating its unique position in the world of spirits.

A Rich History of Indulgence

Baileys Irish Cream was introduced in 1974, revolutionizing the liqueur market with its innovative blend of Irish whiskey and cream. Created by Gilbeys of Ireland, the idea was to craft a drink that encapsulated the essence of Ireland in a bottle. Baileys quickly became a global sensation, admired for its commitment to quality and its distinct flavor profile.

Crafting the Cream

The secret behind Baileys’ irresistible taste lies in its meticulous production process. The finest Irish whiskey, sourced from several distilleries around Ireland, is blended with rich cream from Irish dairy farms. This combination is then enriched with cocoa and vanilla, creating a complexity of flavors that is both balanced and captivating. The result is a liqueur that’s as suitable for sipping neat as it is for enhancing cocktails and desserts.

Versatile Enjoyment: Discovering the Many Faces of Baileys Irish Cream

Beyond the glass: baileys in culinary creations.

Baileys Irish Cream’s rich, creamy texture and distinctive flavor profile make it an exceptional ingredient in the culinary world. From luxurious desserts to savory delights, Baileys can transform ordinary recipes into extraordinary culinary experiences. Imagine the decadence of Baileys-infused chocolate truffles, the sumptuousness of Baileys cheesecake, or even a Baileys glaze drizzled over your favorite baked goods. Its versatility extends to breakfast treats, such as Baileys French toast, adding a touch of indulgence to the start of your day.

Cocktail Innovation with Baileys

While Baileys Irish Cream is a delight to sip neat or over ice, its true versatility shines in the art of mixology. Classic cocktails like the Baileys Irish Coffee and Baileys Espresso Martini are just the beginning. Adventurous mixologists can experiment with Baileys in creations like the Baileys Flat White Martini or a Baileys Salted Caramel and Espresso Martini, blending the rich flavors of coffee, caramel, and Baileys for a truly invigorating experience. For those who prefer their cocktails with a dessert-like twist, the Baileys Chocolate Martini or a Baileys-topped ice cream float offers a perfect blend of cocktail joy and dessert decadence.

Seasonal Celebrations and Festive Gatherings

Baileys Irish Cream is not just for after-dinner enjoyment; it’s a festive staple that enhances the cheer of seasonal celebrations. During the holiday season, adding Baileys to your hot cocoa can create a warm, comforting beverage that embodies the spirit of winter wonder. For summer gatherings, Baileys can be the base of a refreshing iced coffee cocktail, keeping you cool while delivering a creamy, flavorful punch. It’s also a favorite addition to St. Patrick’s Day festivities, where Baileys can be featured in everything from cocktails to desserts, celebrating Irish heritage with every sip and bite.

Baileys Irish Cream: A Staple in Pop Culture

Iconic appearances and celebrity endorsements.

Baileys Irish Cream has made its mark not just on the shelves of bars and homes worldwide but also within the vibrant landscape of pop culture. Its smooth, creamy texture and distinctive taste have caught the attention of filmmakers, television producers, and celebrities, making it a frequent guest at high-profile events and a go-to drink for adding a touch of sophistication to on-screen gatherings. From its casual cameo appearances in beloved TV shows and movies to being the centerpiece of lavish celebrity parties, Baileys has become synonymous with indulgence and celebration.

A Symbol of Celebration in Media

Moreover, Baileys has often been featured in lifestyle magazines and social media posts by influencers, further cementing its status as a luxurious and versatile liqueur. Whether it’s being used to craft elegant cocktails at star-studded events or being enjoyed neat by characters in a pivotal scene, Baileys resonates with audiences for its association with warmth, comfort, and festivity. This cultural endorsement has contributed significantly to its global recognition, portraying it as the ideal choice for those looking to elevate their entertainment experience or celebrate life’s special moments with panache.

Incorporating Baileys into various aspects of pop culture has not only broadened its appeal beyond the traditional liquor audience but also inspired fans to explore creative ways of enjoying this classic Irish cream liqueur.

Cocktail Inspirations

Baileys Irish Cream invites creativity in cocktail making. The Baileys Espresso Martini and the Baileys Chocolate Martini are just a couple of examples where Baileys serves as the cornerstone for delicious and inventive drinks. Its compatibility with coffee, chocolate, and many other flavors allows for endless experimentation behind the bar.

A Commitment to Quality

Baileys’ commitment to quality is evident in every bottle. With a shelf life longer than most dairy products, thanks to the natural preservative qualities of Irish whiskey, Baileys maintains its freshness and flavor, ensuring a premium experience with every sip.

Baileys Irish Cream remains a timeless favorite, offering a rich, creamy indulgence that’s hard to resist. Whether you’re enjoying it neat on a cold evening, crafting an elegant cocktail, or incorporating it into a luxurious dessert, Baileys Irish Cream adds a touch of elegance and enjoyment to any moment.

14 Irish Cream Liqueurs, Ranked Worst To Best

Although Irish cream liqueur is a relatively new invention, you'd be forgiven for thinking it's been around forever. Ever since Baileys hit shelves in the 1970s, Irish creams have found huge success as a cocktail and cooking ingredient, and as a cordial to be enjoyed neat or poured over ice.

The flavor of Irish cream liqueurs varies between brands , but for the most part, you'll be met with milky vanilla and chocolate, and perhaps a hint of Irish whiskey, blended together in a concoction with a delectably creamy mouthfeel. The drink's simplicity makes it hugely versatile, something that only enhances its popularity. This is wonderful — but it also means it can be hard to navigate today's many, many brands and variations. 

I've had the good fortune to taste plenty of different Irish cream liqueurs during my many years as an international cocktail bartender — including very enjoyable visits to Ireland — putting them to the test in all manner of food and drink recipes. Some were relegated to the back of the bar shelf (or given away to less discerning bar staff) while others made my shopping list time and time again. Below, I've ranked some of the Irish cream liqueurs that have stood out to me over the years, in the hope you'll discover an exciting new brand to try next time you're looking for something rich, creamy, and delicious.

14. Barry's Irish Cream

Barry's Irish Cream has an interesting background, as it was born behind the doors of a venue that received consistent accolades as one of America's best Irish pubs. Unfortunately, Barry's Irish Pub closed its doors back in September 2023, but this move has allowed the owners to divert their full attention to the production of their bespoke liqueur.

The liqueur itself is made on the other side of the pond in Ireland by a company called Merry's based in County Tipperary, then imported to the United States. It's certainly a tasty Irish cream liqueur and gets the basics right; it's decadently creamy, not too boozy, and boasts rich undertones of vanilla, chocolate, and a touch of coffee. However, the price point of Barry's is a little puzzling. Merry's produces its own range of Irish creams with its own name and branding on the bottle, which you can find for around $14. But a bottle of Barry's will set you back $35, on the premium end of the scale for this type of liqueur. Ultimately, unless you're happy to spend double to support a small business, you may as well choose the Merry's branded bottle instead.

13. O'Mara's Irish Country Cream

Generally speaking, there are three types of Irish cream liqueur rooted in the base spirit they use: those made with 100% Irish whiskey, those made with a neutral grain spirit, and those that use a combination of the two. Each has its own perks and drawbacks. But O'Mara's Irish Country Cream takes a unique fourth approach.

O'Mara's starts with a neutral grain spirit but incorporates fine wine into the base as well. This helps take the edge off the grain spirit, which usually imparts a fairly rough characteristic into liqueurs. The wine helps the fresh cream – made with milk from cows relatively local to O'Mara's Irish distillery – retain its silky smoothness while keeping the production costs low enough to offer the liqueur at a reasonable price. It also introduces a tangy sweetness which makes it a great addition to desserts, like the coffee-and-ice-cream-based affogato . If you prefer Irish cream liqueurs that have the depth of real Irish whiskey, O'Mara's might not be for you, but it's still worth checking out, especially if you have a bit of a sweet tooth.

12. Ryan's Irish Cream

While Ryan's Irish Cream is made in the U.S., it shouldn't be written off as an inauthentic Irish cream. Firstly, it's produced by the Sazerac company, one of the world's most historic and acclaimed spirits conglomerates with a portfolio that includes almost every type of spirit you can think of. Secondly, the Ryan's recipe also includes imported whiskey from Ireland, which is combined with fresh cream, natural vanilla, and quality chocolate.

This results in a liqueur that has won awards for its impeccable smoothness. While there are better Irish cream liqueurs out there, the fact that Ryan's is made stateside means the price stays low, making it one of the best value-for-money variants on the market. It's versatile enough to be enjoyed chilled or over ice, but the strong vanilla and mocha elements make it a particularly excellent ingredient in coffee cocktails. O'Mara's is especially suitable for making a warming Irish coffee or an extra creamy espresso martini if you balance it with the right type of coffee .

11. The Irishman Irish Cream Liqueur

The Irishman Irish Cream Liqueur stands out because it's one of the few expressions to solely rely on authentic Irish whiskey as its base spirit. While it can sometimes be hard to guarantee the quality of the whiskey used in liqueurs, that doesn't pose an issue with this beverage.

If you're familiar with your Irish whiskeys, you may have already noticed that this cream liqueur shares its name with a range of superb drams that embody the tradition of the style. This is because said drams are made by the same distillers. Combining The Irishman whiskey with 100% fresh Irish cream and natural vanilla results in a slightly boozier-tasting liqueur that hits all the high notes of cocoa and toffee while introducing the touches of dried fruit and honey that are synonymous with the whiskey style. This international award-winning liqueur is a surefire hit if you're a whiskey lover, offering more bite than versions that rely on a blended base, without veering into the harshness that's sometimes present with grain spirits. On the other hand, if you prefer a mellower experience, The Irishman may be a bit too intense to drink without mixing.

10. Molly's Irish Cream Liqueur

Produced in one of the world's oldest cream liqueur manufacturing plants (once operated by Bailey's) in the heart of Ireland's dairy country, Molly's is an expertly crafted Irish cream liqueur. Using modern production techniques, the company fuses the freshest Irish dairy cream with a split base of Irish whiskey and spirits and natural chocolate flavoring.

Price-wise, Molly's is mid-range, but the extra dollars are worth it for an incredibly approachable liqueur that has all the flavor of a whiskey-based Irish cream without the intensity. Interestingly, hints of coconut pop up alongside the chocolate, making it a delicious sipper while also lending itself extremely well to desserts and sweet sauces. Molly's is also known for producing intriguing twists on the classic recipe, including a coconut version that amplifies the sweet, nutty ingredient, and a seasonal pumpkin spice edition that boasts notes of clove, cinnamon, vanilla, and brown sugar. While the whole Molly's range can be enjoyed chilled or poured over a handful of ice cubes, the unique flavors beg for experimentation, both behind the bar and in the kitchen.

9. Brady's Irish Cream Liqueur

Brady's is a particularly flavorful Irish cream liqueur from Derry, up in Northern Ireland. Crafted in small batches with excellent attention to detail, it's pretty straightforward to source and comes at a reasonable price.

Natural vanilla and chocolate flavorings are added to boost the overall taste profile, and extra-fresh cream boosts the milky notes of the liqueur. Brady's also uses Irish single malt whiskey in conjunction with grain spirits for the base, meaning you'll find aromas of dried fruit and nuts with some peppery spice and butterscotch thrown in for good measure. The heat of the whiskey lays low for the most part but rears its head at the finish line in a pleasantly tingly manner that's not too overwhelming for non-whiskey drinkers. All in all, the range of flavors present and the attractive pricing make Brady's another versatile pick that's delicious over ice, in cocktails, or as a cooking ingredient.

8. Michael's Irish Cream

Michael's is one of the more complex Irish cream liqueurs on the market, in part because of its higher whiskey content. The classic characteristics are present in abundance — vanilla, chocolate, and a touch of coffee — but there's also a wider variety of sweet notes on offer.

Lactic sweetness is at the forefront, emboldened with richer flavors of caramel and butterscotch. If the body was a little thicker, it would taste just like melted, boozy ice cream. The whiskey adds hints of toasted nuts to the tasting profile, but most of the alcohol's heat is tempered by sweetness, except for a slightly fiery finish that isn't unwelcome. The saccharine elements might be too much for some, but these make Michael's a premium pick for desserts and after-dinner drinks. It's my go-to bottle for zhuzhing up a classic Irish cream chocolate fondue around the holidays, as it balances out darker chocolate and adds even more depth to the luxurious Swiss-inspired delicacy. It also works a treat in an Irish coffee.

7. Carolans Irish Cream

Developed in Ireland back in 1978, Carolans is the second biggest Irish cream brand in the world after Baileys. This popularity doesn't come from tasting like that famous brand, but because it has a somewhat unique flavor for an Irish cream. Real cream and Irish whiskey are both present in Carolans, along with some grain spirit, but Carolans uses natural honey as a sweetener as opposed to the classic vanilla and chocolate combo.

The result is an award-winning Irish cream liqueur that's more versatile than most alternatives. Its honeyed aspect makes it ideal for balancing ingredients in rich, boozy cocktails and hard milkshakes. This goes double for its variants, which include Carolans Salted Caramel and Carolans Peanut Butter. Whether it tastes better than Baileys neat or on the rocks is entirely subjective, but I find it's a better option for use as a cooking ingredient, whether you're making boozy homemade fudge or adding a splash to the egg wash of your French toast .

6. Five Farms Irish Cream Liqueur

Five Farms Irish Cream Liqueur has gained quite a reputation since its inception, thanks to its status as a true farm-to-table product from the heartland of Irish dairy, County Cork. The cream is sourced from five family-owned farms in the region and is used within just 48 hours of production.

The small-batch production methods, local freshness, and high-quality Irish whiskey present in Five Farms' product are all a part of what's earned the liqueur a record-breaking score in the Ultimate Spirits Challenge. While it doesn't reinvent the wheel, Five Farms Irish Cream Liquer is an excellent example of what you get when you master the basics of a beverage. It's supremely creamy and well-rounded, expertly showcasing high notes of vanilla and coffee. But then comes the issue of price. On average, you can expect to pay between $35 and $40 for a 750ml bottle of Five Farms when it's readily available. Although you can find half-sized retail bottles, it's a steep price for any Irish liqueur. If you're happy paying extra knowing your money is going towards an independent, farm-to-table venture, then it's an excellent choice; however, in pure value-for-money terms, there are arguably better alternatives.

5. Kerrygold Superior Irish Cream Liqueur

Those familiar with Kerrygold will know it as one of the most highly regarded butter makers on the market, so there are high expectations for its attempt at making an Irish cream liqueur. Although  historically, the brand wasn't intended for the Irish market , the high-quality milk used in Kerrygold products is sourced from Ireland, just like the whiskey used in this liqueur.

It should come as no surprise that the dairy element of Kerrygold Superior Irish Cream liqueur is the star of the show, being unbelievably smooth and creamy but never too heavy. The added chocolate is also noticeable, and complements the vanilla elements well without being cloying. The whiskey is very subtle, but adds some balance and spice. Kerrygold usually comes in around $20 a bottle, which is exceedingly good value for a liqueur of this quality. It's best served chilled or poured over ice, which enables the drinker to savor every note of the liqueur unadulterated by other ingredients. But it's also versatile enough to work well in cocktails and cooking recipes.

4. Saint Brendan's Irish Cream

Saint Brendan's — named for an adventurous Irish apostle — is another Irish cream liqueur that lets the whiskey do the talking. Made in Derry, Northern Ireland, Saint Brendan's combines the freshest cream with triple-distilled, bourbon cask-aged Irish whiskey from The Quiet Man.

There's some grain spirit mixed in too, judging from the slight harshness, but this is mostly evened out by the addition of honey. The honey and whiskey give Saint Brendan's a slightly spicy sweetness that adds character to the mellow chocolate and vanilla marshmallow notes, though it's still soft enough to enjoy on its own. If anything, it's a little too subdued — it feels like the whiskey is underused. You'd also expect a little more bite and complexity, considering the quality of the base spirit. That said, Saint Brendan's is my number one pick for cooking, especially when it's used to enhance sweet baked goods like rich chocolate trifles, decadent brownies, and chewy cookies. The price is reasonable enough to keep a bottle on hand, but it's better kept in the kitchen than behind the bar.

3. Baileys Irish Cream

Despite Ireland having a storied history in both the whiskey and dairy worlds, it wasn't until the 1970s that the first Irish cream liqueur hit the market, invented, ironically, in Essex, England. The product, as you've probably guessed, was Baileys, the true original Irish cream that inspired all those following it, including every bottle on this list.

While being the first doesn't necessarily equate to being the best, it's hard to deny that Baileys is still a top-tier Irish cream liqueur despite fierce market competition. Its proprietary recipe blends the usual cream, whiskey, and grain spirits with a handful of flavoring ingredients. This gives Baileys its iconic chocolatey vanilla flavor, with gorgeous notes of caramel and a touch of coffee. It's really hard to find anything bad to say about Baileys. Sure, it's mass-produced and can't make any claims of being independent or a small-batch liqueur, but it doesn't need to in order to win fans. The alcohol is mellow and inoffensive; it's approachable, affordable, and easy to find; and it's as versatile as an Irish cream can be.

2. Baileys Chocolat Luxe

Baileys is no stranger to special editions — there are dozens of twists on the classic recipe available. Strawberries and cream, vanilla mint, apple pie, and salted caramel are just a few of the seemingly endless options. But there's only one I feel deserves its own spot on this rundown.

Baileys Chocolat Luxe — made with real Belgian chocolate — is as close as one can get to drinking alcoholic chocolate milk. It simultaneously manages to be exceedingly decadent without being so rich you can't stomach another glass — in fact, the opposite is true. It's also a great option for combining with other liqueurs whose flavors marry well with chocolate, such as hazelnut-flavored Frangelico, orangey Cointreau, or zippy Creme de Menthe. Plus, Baileys Chocolat Luxe is the perfect ingredient for upgrading chocolate desserts with a boozy twist, like tiramisu  or no-bake cheesecakes. If you're a chocoholic, think twice before you pick up a bottle of regular Baileys and opt for this one instead — you certainly won't regret it.

1. Coole Swan Irish Cream Liqueur

Finally, we arrive at the only Irish cream liqueur I've discovered that I would safely rate above Baileys: Coole Swan. The magic is in its simplicity. Real Belgian chocolate melted into Irish whiskey and fresh cream with a touch of Madagascan vanilla is more than enough to create an Irish cream liqueur that can truly be considered a premium pour. It's worth every penny of its higher-end price point.

Coole Swan is perfectly balanced in a way that's almost difficult to comprehend. It's supremely smooth, and the whiskey manages to have a robust presence without being in any way too hot or overpowering. Simultaneously, it's sweet without being sickly or cloying, and lighter than the competition without losing anything in the way of body or mouthfeel. Aside from making it superb on its own after some chilling, these qualities make it a remarkable addition to cocktails, including those you might not think of adding Irish cream liqueur to. It's even delicate enough to add to drinks like a Pina Colada or gin spritz, as long as you remember to sub out any acidic citrus components to avoid curdling.

Methodology

The Irish cream liqueurs listed in this article are all brands that I've been lucky enough to try over an extensive career in the hospitality industry. I've worked around the world in all manner of bars, restaurants, cafes, and catering businesses.

After listing all the brands I've encountered over the years — there may have been a handful that slipped my memory, but that can only mean they didn't truly stand out — I narrowed the group down to the ones I would wholeheartedly recommend. The number one criteria I bore in mind was taste, but it's important to remember that versatility is what makes Irish cream liqueurs so iconic. Therefore, I also gave credit where it was due to bottles that may not shine on their own, but are superb additions to cocktails or cooking recipes. I also factored in value-for-money and availability, as I didn't want to include entries that are no longer available or are nearly impossible to track down.

I did a search but couldn't find anything, or at least the right search combination.

Bailey's is one of my wife's favorite drinks, so it'd be great if we were able to do some sort of factory tour or Irish cream tasting event during our trip.

Sounds like a pretty good tour alright!

Thanks Cavan, for that clarification.

And good to know I'm helping the country when ingesting it :o))

Aye, and the best place to see a Baileys cow is at the Virginia Agricultural Show next July - lol

I have heard, however, that the Smithwick brewery tour in Kilkenny is well worth doing (but unfortunately closed on our one day there).

How many calories in that recipe, bean? Hardly any I'd say. Especially if you go for low fat Werthers

Aww darn, that's too bad! It would be a good idea as it seems that lots of people love Bailey's. It's a little easier to drink than the hard whiskey liquors, but oh well!

Speaking of fun Bailey's recipes, we always use ours to make smoothies:

Take 1 or 2 ripe bananas, add 1 cup of ice, and then add 1/2 cup of baileys in a blender. Blend till smooth and creamy, add a little vodka if you want it to be stiffer drink.

Probably one of our favorite drinks!

Congratulations Joe.

Your website is fabulous.

It really is a pity you have to be in a group of 20+

oh that surely does sound yum !

where's this Bailey's farm? am i understanding u can't do this unless it is 20 of you?
