Tesco slashes the price of award-winning liqueur that ‘tastes better than Bailey's'
TESCO shoppers have heaped on the praise for an award-winning Irish liquer.
And no, it's not the go-to classic Bailey's.
A 700 mililitre bottle of Coole Swan Superior Irish Cream Liqueur is available for just £26.50 from Tesco.
And if you're a Clubcard holder, you can nab this popular drink for £20.
The "smooth and creamy" drink consists of single-malt Irish whiskey, Belgian white chocolate, and fresh dairy cream.
Coole Swan own a family farm in Ireland, where they source the cream that gives the drink its classic "silky" quality.
'Better' than Bailey's
While Baileys is the traditional choice for many, Coole Swan proves to be a popular contender.
Some fans have even compared the two, describing the Tesco buy as "like Baileys, but better".
One shopper claimed it's in a "different league" compared to other cream liqueurs.
Rave reviews
Coole Swan has also garnered prestigious awards, including Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
It was also named the #1 Irish cream liqueur by Tasting Table, according to the Manchester Evening News.
Tesco customers awarded the liqueur an average of 4.7 out of five stars.
'I'm obsessed with it' says Irish shopper as new drink hits stores for first time – but there are loads of mixed reviews
"This is so beautiful, creamy and a better class of liqueur. Move over, Baileys, there's a new drink in town," said one shopper.
"The most delicious Irish cream liqueur I have ever tasted," agreed another person.
"Creamy, luxuriously smooth and very moreish."
They added: "The taste of alcohol is not overwhelming either, which I find with Baileys and other Irish creams.
"Don't think I could go back to anything else after trying this; the only downside is the price."
NHS guidelines on drinking alcohol
According to the NHS, regularly drinking more than 14 units of alcohol a week risks damaging your health.
To keep health risks from alcohol to a low level if you drink most weeks:
men and women are advised not to drink more than 14 units a week on a regular basis
spread your drinking over 3 or more days if you regularly drink as much as 14 units a week
if you want to cut down, try to have several drink-free days each week
If you're pregnant or think you could become pregnant, the safest approach is not to drink alcohol at all to keep risks to your baby to a minimum.
