Baileys Baileys Original Irish Cream is a unique blend of fresh Irish dairy cream, Irish whisky and natural flavours. History In 1971 the senior managers committee of Gilbeys of Ireland had an idea to make a uniquely Irish drink that reflected Irelands heritage, agriculture and distilling traditions. Whilst the concept of this drink was fairly simple the actual recipe was proving difficult and cream and whiskey do not mix together naturally. By 1973 the recipe was perfected and all the issues with production in bulk and shelf life where resolved. 1974 - the year of the Baileys launch - hurray . By 1979 over 1 million ...  Read the complete review

If you are a regular dooyoo writer you may have read from my drinks reviews, I like to try new drinks when I go out with a couple of mates and I was in my local Yates and my mate was nowhere to be seen so I decided to try something new. (I usually just buy a round in when I am with my mates). And after looking at the drinks menu for a minute or so I decided to try a glass of Baileys. Now some people may consider this a girly drink for some odd reason but I see it as what it is, just a drink. So I ordered a Baileys and went over to stand by one of those high tables and proceeded to sip the Baileys whilst looking around the club for my mate who eventually ...  Read the complete review

**Overview** I can remember that my mum has always like Baileys even since I've been young. I always thought it looked like a caramely type milkshake. The first time I tried Bailey was at Christmas when I was nearly 17, everyone was having an after dinner drink so I thought I'd try a glass of Baileys on the rocks, to be honest I didn't like it.

I was in the off licence last night looking for a nice drink I could enjoy while putting my feet up in front of the tele. I fancied Baileys but my purse didn't! :o( Then I noticed a 'box' on the shelf with BAILEYS MINI's on the front and even better a sticker on the front telling me they're on special offer..... and I've got enough money! Yeahhhhhh. :o) So I buy them and lovingly place them in my bag with a big smile on my face....... OK, Baileys Mini's are the business! A brilliant idea that really Baileys should have thought of years ago. They've put the wonderful drink that is Baileys into a little bottle, well, to be precise 4 ...  Read the complete review

Baileys Irish Cream is a liqueur made from fresh cream, triple-distilled Irish whiskey, ‘finest Irish spirits’ (to quote their own marketing department) and natural flavourings. Although I am a total whiskey-hater, I absolutely love this drink. First produced in 1974, it is now the world’s biggest seller of its type, and 1600 glasses of the stuff are consumed EVERY MINUTE worldwide! So how does it taste? The whiskey taste is actually quite subtle, though still distinctively there, and it blends beautifully with the cream to give a smooth but still punchy taste. The over-riding sensation when drinking Baileys is its ...  Read the complete review
