History
Created in Dublin in 1974, Baileys was the world's first cream liqueur. The inventors spent years solving the challenge of combining cream with alcohol without separation. It became an instant success and spawned countless imitators. Over 2,300 cows supply cream daily.
How it’s made
Made by blending fresh Irish cream with Irish whiskey, cocoa, and vanilla. A proprietary homogenization process prevents separation. The cream is sourced from farms within 90 miles of the Dublin factory. Shelf stable for two years despite the dairy content.
