Irish Creams? Where? What? How Much?

King Damager · 4 Dec 2011 at 12:36

Hmm, having just demolished a bottle of Baileys in about the space of 4 days, I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for brands, and where to get them from?

What? You mean other than Baileys? Why not just get more Baileys?

I guess theres this stuff.

One ive tried is saint brendans irish cream. Bought it in a local off licence, thought it tasted better than baileys.

Sainsburys do one called o'gradys. But please don't try it. I did and have spent many a night weeping to myself about it.

Have you ever tried Amarula? It's a creamy one but fruity, not Irish but African, it's quite pleasant.

Have you ever drunk Baileys from a shoe?

setter · 4 Dec 2011 at 13:39

Nope, but ive drunk beer from a welly boot, (thankfully it had never been used). It was an old tradition at a shoot i used to go to.

Nothing wrong with the Tesco knock-off version at £3.99.

Not as nice as Bailey's, but not far off.

Coole Swan is very nice. Like a luxury Baileys. Just wish it were easier to get hold of at reasonable (ie Supermarket) prices.

Try the cheapy one from aldi was canny

Baileys is nice but I prefer Heather Cream.

EDIT: Scottish not Irish though.

Amarula is nice. Pretty cheap as well.

You could try Merlyn Welsh Cream Liqueur..... It's slightly different, you taste more of the malt whiskey in it. Very very good.

Just go with one of the super market own brands, you can hardly tell the difference and if you pick up something like Sainsburys Taste the Difference in the christmas offers I would say it's nicer than the origional!

Ocado/Waitrose have 1L bottles of Baileys for £12 at the moment!

Whilst I don't mind Baileys at all as a drink, it's in a class of it's own when served with chocolate...

Had to go buy some, I reminded myself of it

Skillmister · 6 Dec 2011 at 22:55

irish knights from asda is pretty good imo. less than half the price of baileys and very similar

Nickyyy · 6 Dec 2011 at 22:58

I usually mix baileys with a glass of milk, odd I know but the alcohol isn't as pronounced and the nice after taste and creaminess is still there.

MickeyFinns · 6 Dec 2011 at 23:29

Buy this. Trust me.
