Baileys® Original Irish Cream Liqueur
The makers of BAILEYS
ORIGINAL IRISH CREAM LIQUEUR are justifiably
proud of being the worlds first cream liqueur. Now often imitated,
the brand became an international sensation upon its 1979 introduction
and is now the best-selling liqueur in the world.
Created by R. & A. Bailey Company of
Dublin, Ireland, the liqueur is made from a base of dairy cream
not more than 2 hours old. The cream is infused with aged, triple-distilled
Irish whiskey and natural vanilla and chocolate flavorings. The
liqueur is homogenized to ensure that the flavors fully amalgamate,
then pasteurized and bottled at 34 proof.
Baileys Irish Cream is an elegant taste
sensation that well deserves its international preeminence. The
liqueur has a beige hue and a luscious, medium-weight body. The
bouquet is decidedly creamy with engaging aromas of whiskey and
chocolate. It spreads a wealth of flavors over the palate, alternating
notes of vanilla, chocolate and whiskey. The dairy-wrapped flavors
persist long into the luxurious finish.
Baileys Irish Cream is absolutely marvelous
served chilled,
straight-up, or over ice. To overlook its versatility behind the
bar would be to deny it of its pub heritage. Baileys is a liqueur
with unlimited creative uses, as evidenced by the long list of cocktails
in which it is featured.
