The story
The product that later took the name Baileys was conceived in the early 1970s and the liqueur was introduced to the market in 1974. The commercial name on labels and in records is often given as R & A Bailey & Co; the brand and commercial production are today part of Diageo. Over time the range has expanded with numerous flavored variants and premium products.
Production philosophy
The brand aims to combine quality Irish cream and whiskey to create an accessible creamy liqueur, expanding the range with flavorful variants and sustainability initiatives linked to the local milk supply chain.
Territory
Ireland (production and ingredient sourcing on the island of Ireland); production and bottling at facilities on Nangor Road (Dublin) and Mallusk (Northern Ireland). Global distribution.
Production method
It is a homogenized blend: fresh cream and Irish whiskey are emulsified (with the help of a vegetable oil–based emulsifier) to prevent separation and obtain the typical creamy texture. The product also uses cocoa extracts and a proprietary recipe for its chocolate character.
