Baileys

wiltonson · 20 May 2011 at 21:37

I just found a 1l bottle Baileys in my cupboard. It's still sealed but says "Ideally comsume before November 2009". Do you guys think I can still drink it?

Says store in temperature between 0-25C. I think my room temperature is within that range

Doesn't say use by, it says 'ideally'.

So yeah why the hell not.

RIP to you, and to this thread

Consumable but probably not very nice tasting

Your nose is designed for a few things, one is telling you if something is off, so is your taste. If it smells fine and taste fine. Its all good.

Have you ever drunk Bailey's from a shoe?

wiltonson · 20 May 2011 at 21:41

What worries me is it contains milk. Probably would have been better off if I have kept it in the fridge.

Shall I open it and give it a try?? Heck why not, otherwise it's going straight in the bin anyway...

do it in one with a straw and then let us know if you feel ill or not.

Geeman1979 · 20 May 2011 at 21:45

Taste it and if it tatse ok! add ice and then drink that sucker

wiltonson · 20 May 2011 at 21:46

Smells and tastes normal. However I do feel it's a bit thick but that could be my imagination and I didn't add ice.

I can't do a 1l milk in one go, so I doubt I take a 1l Baileys

Does that improve the taste or are you trying to woo the chap in a slightly novel fashion?

I think the simplest thing is to open the bottle and try a little bit, if you don't die then it's probably ok or at least as ok as Baileys will ever get.

Don't think so, sometimes we let Baileys go bad, it is made with milk so I wouldn't risk it...

Heck you can have a glass if you want, I got 1l to get through here. This bottle survives after so long probably because it is still sealed.

I'm drinking quite a bit now. Not feeling dizzy yet

Yeah the milk thing is bothering me. I think I should stop.

If we all had that kind of attitude we would never have made it to the moon.

Drink up old chap!

It'll be fine, the alcohol acts as a natural preservative. Nothing to worry about chap, drink up.

franco_22 · 20 May 2011 at 22:01

Just crack open a beer... baileys is such a ladies drink anyway
