What is Bailey’s Irish Cream?
Bailey’s Irish Cream is a liqueur blended from Irish Whiskey, cream, and cocoa. The original version is 17% ABV, or 34 proof. Bailey’s Irish Cream can be served neat, is an integral part of many mixed drinks, complements various hot beverages, and is even commonly used when baking.
Where did Bailey’s Irish Cream come from?
Bailey’s Irish Cream is the result of a challenge to invent an alcoholic drink with a low Irish whiskey content meant for export. The two creators mixed Jameson Irish Whiskey with cream and Cadbury’s drinking chocolate. A few adjustments later, Bailey’s Irish Cream came on the market in 1973. Diageo is the current owner, and Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits is the exclusive distributor of these products on Grand Cayman.
