Things you didn't know about Baileys
The name Baileys isn't Irish either According to the Irish Times , Gluckman and Seymour-Davies borrowed the name from Baileys Bistro, a restaurant located beneath their new office in SoHo, London. It just sounded right. Baileys comes in more flavours than you'd expect Above From Dublin to the world: Baileys has won hearts with its variety of flavour twists (photo: Getty Images / Monica Schipper) Beyond the original Irish Cream, the brand has expanded its repertoire to include indulgent favourites like Salted Caramel, Espresso Crème, Chocolate Cherry and Vanilla Cinnamon. Seasonal specials such as Pumpkin Spice keep things fresh, while the vegan-friendly Baileys Almande—made with almond milk—offers a plant-based option. Limited-edition releases such as Strawberries & Cream, Chocolat Luxe and Dulce de Leche (the latter exclusive to Mexico) prove Baileys isn't afraid to experiment. Pure ingredients, proudly sourced Each year, Baileys uses more than 250 million litres of fresh milk sourced directly from Ireland. According to a 2015 report by the Irish government's Merrion Street agency, this milk is collected from over 40,000 cows across 1,500 carefully selected farms. It is then transported to the Baileys facility in Dublin, where it becomes the cream used in the liqueur—a product with a shelf life of up to two years. Above Baileys has come to symbolise indulgence and ease (photo: Instagram / @baileysofficial) At least five men have laid claim to its creation The names most often associated with Baileys' beginnings include David Gluckman, David Dand, Mac Macpherson, Steve Wilson and Tom Jago. Among them, Jago is widely regarded as the most credible source. A pioneer in spirits innovation, he also helped create Johnnie Walker Blue Label and Malibu, and later co-founded The Last Drop Distillers with James Espey. According to Jago, Gluckman and Seymour-Davies were copywriters, Macpherson served as the chemist, Wilson assisted him, and Dand oversaw the project. Together, they experimented with a mix of whiskey, cream, sugar and chocolate, along with a name that would eventually become world-famous. A favourite among women Above Versatile and stylish, Baileys pairs beautifully with a wide range of treats (photo: Instagram / @baileysofficial) With an approachable alcohol content of around 17% and a soft, sweet profile, Baileys holds strong appeal, particularly among women. In 2014, Diageo launched a female-focused campaign titled 'This is for Us,' conceived by an all-female creative team at BBH London. According to Irish Central, the campaign was crafted specifically for the Millennial woman. It isn't just for after dinner In 2019, Baileys debuted a line of coffee creamers (think cold brews in flavours such as Caramel and Irish Coffee) aimed at brightening up your morning ritual. The brand has also ventured into desserts, releasing products like yoghurt and chocolate biscuits for fans wanting a little extra indulgence.

This sweet drink is packed with strawberry and vanilla flavours with a hint of spong cake sweetness. Shoppers can find this beloved Baileys dupe in Aldi's stores now. Ballycastle's new Strawberries & Cream Country Cream blends smooth cream with sweet strawberry flavours — described as a 'guaranteed crowd-pleaser'. Alcohol lovers will have to wait until June 9 to get their hands on the new drink. Ballycastle's new Cookie Dough Ice Cream Country Cream is sure to catch the eye of Baileys fans. The alcoholic beverage is packed with buttery biscuit, chocolate, and vanilla flavours, finished with a touch of salt for a balanced taste. Aldi shoppers will have to wait a little longer to try Ballycastle's new Cookie Dough Ice Cream Country Cream, which is set to hit store shelves on June 26. The discount supermarket's dupe is nearly £15 cheaper than Tesco's Baileys Original Irish Cream Liqueur Bottle - scanning at the tills for £22.25. It comes after Aldi shoppers rushed to their local branch to snap up a brand new Baileys duplicate that's a whopping 50 per cent cheaper than the real thing. Aldi 'I tried it, it's so good', foodies racing to snap up a posh festive tipple that's just £6.99 - and it's a must if you love chocolate The budget supermarket is set to put the "delicious" bargain drink on sale in its stores from March 30. One keen-eyed shopper spotted the deal for Ballycastle's Cream Chocolate Honeycomb Liqueur on Aldi's website, sharing it to a group on Facebook. The post showed a picture of the product on the site, alongside the caption: "Is anyone excited about this? "I am - looks delicious". The 700ml drink is currently listed at the incredible price of just £7.99. In comparison, Baileys can typically sell for us much as £17, with this price being seen currently at Sainsbury's. This means you can save more than 50 per cent by buying this alternative honeycomb drink. Its product listing states: "A blend of double cream, alcohol and flavourings." The country cream "limited edition" drink is produced in Northern Ireland and has an alcohol content of 12 per cent. Fans were quick to share how excited they were to buy the product ahead of its sale on Sunday. One said: "I'll have to look into that". Another added: "Might buy a few". A third exclaimed: "I so want to try this one". Others also recalled the previous alternative versions of the drink they had enjoyed, including a "raspberry ripple" flavour. Aldi's Baileys dupes over the years Ballycastle Stout Flavour Country Cream: Aldi launched a Guinness inspired Irish cream earlier this year, just in time for St Patrick's Day this month. It boasted a "luxuriously smooth, creamy texture with prominent malt notes balanced by the subtle sweetness of Irish cream", the retailer revealed. The retailer added: "It's a sophisticated sip that's perfect for after-dinner indulgence or mixing into a celebratory cocktail." Ballycastle Country Cream: A direct duplicate of the classic Baileys flavour, this drink has seen its price drop to as low as just £4.49 a bottle in the past. The drink describes itself as an "elegant, Irish tipple" and promises its drinkers a rich, chocolate and vanilla creaminess. With "toffee undertones", the sweet finish derives from the aptly-named Golden Vale region in Ireland. Ballycastle Chocolate Crème: This delectable alcoholic drink was inspired by the much-loved Cadbury Creme Eggs treat. The drink is described as "a deliciously smooth, Irish Cream blend with delicate hints of chocolate and sweet vanilla." Specially Selected Luxury Edition, Irish Cream Liqueur: King of the big-brand dupes, Aldi does a great job at an alcoholic imitation of the most well-known name in Irish Cream, with this caramel-like, creamy tipple, getting the balance of booze with rich cream and flavour just right. It's almost there as a comparison in the glass, just let down by a little oiliness on the finish. Ballycastle S'mores Country Cream: Launched in time for Christmas last year, this funky drink combined rich chocolate and biscuit flavours with hints of vanilla and fluffy marshmallow. Aldi added: "This nostalgic tipple is guaranteed to ignite shoppers' tastebuds – just simply enjoy neat over ice or enjoy as part of an indulgent s'mores-tail."

Vernon Kay left taken aback by 'divine' Scottish holiday spot discovery with Tess Daly
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Vernon Kay was left taken aback during a recent search for holiday spots with his wife, Tess Daly. On his BBC Radio 2 show this week, Vernon shared that he and Strictly's Tess had a "wonderful" evening browsing potential holiday destinations on a tablet over drinks. While Vernon sipped on Baileys and Tess enjoyed white wine, they envisioned themselves in various settings, from sandy beaches to hotel balconies. Despite considering some "far-flung" places, Vernon also praised the UK's own stunning locales, particularly mentioning the "divine" beaches found in Scotland. (Image: Getty Images) Vernon enthused: "Oh, we went through a lot of holiday destinations. Fabulous. Some far-flung, some here in the UK. some beautiful resorts in the UK." He continued, highlighting the Scottish coastal route, saying: "I mean, we get a lot of listeners who do the Scottish coastal road, the 500. What's it called, Phil? That's it, the North Coast 500, and people say, 'Oh, look at the beaches here'. "You're like, 'No, Photoshop'. No, last night, oh my goodness me! Some divine beaches up there in Scotland. So that's what we did. How times change." The North Coast 500, often referred to as Scotland's ultimate road trip, offers travellers over 500 miles of breathtaking coastal views, encompassing mountains, beaches, and quaint villages. The official site proclaims the NC500 as an iconic coastal route embracing six regions: Black Isle, Caithness, Easter Ross, Inverness-shire, Sutherland, and Wester Ross, touting it as "one of the world's most iconic coastal touring routes". (Image:) Meanwhile, Vernon, the former host of Family Fortunes, recently spoke about a tense time at home. The reason? Their daughter, Amber, is deep in the throes of prepping for her GCSEs. With two daughters, including Phoebe, his eldest, Vernon opened up on air, stating: "Got GCSEs on the they're here. We've started ours, we're up and running." He then shared details about his own experience with the exams, explaining that he knows they're "stressful" but doesn't remember his from "so long ago" in 1990. In a candid confession, he mused over his past exams: "I remember sitting there thinking, 'Gosh, I wish I'd revised'. I'm not remembering anymore, it's making me depressed." However, the star added that he was "rubbish" at exams and shared his belief that it's "not the way education should be", joking that he would have landed an A+ in hide and seek. He went on to say that the experience is "torturous" for some, and urged fellow parents to support their children through their studies. Finally, Vernon gave some advice to fellow parents, saying: "There's nothing else they can do. There's no point cramming. You can cram all you want in your revision, which we all did, let's be honest, but you've just got to hold their hand haven't you?"

Guinness maker Diageo cuts costs, eyes US tariff hit
LONDON: Diageo, the maker of Guinness stout and Smirnoff vodka, said Monday it would cut costs to reduce debt, as the British group anticipates a hit from US tariffs of $150 million. The announcements from Diageo, whose brands also include Johnnie Walker whisky and Baileys liqueur, were included in an earnings statement that showed total group sales rose nearly three percent to around $4.38 billion in its third quarter. "We view the near-term industry pressure as largely macro-economic driven, with continued uncertainty impacting both the timing and pace of recovery," Diageo chief executive Debra Crew said in the statement. The maker of Astral tequila and Captain Morgan rum said it plans cost savings of around $500 million over three years under the first phase of its Accelerate programme. It leaves the company "well-positioned to deliver sustainable, consistent performance while maximising shareholder returns; even if current trading conditions persist", Crew added. The CEO said Diageo would share further detail of Accelerate in its full-year results due in August. Diageo's share price was steady Monday on London's benchmark FTSE 100 index, which was down 0.6 percent overall in late morning deals following the updates. While "tariffs are likely to cause an annualised hit of some $150 million on profits... the group estimates that its mitigating actions, such as increasing prices, cost control and supply chain management will limit the damage", noted Richard Hunter, head of markets at Interactive Investor.
