Baileys launches new ‘epic' flavour in UK with a twist – but it's only available at 600 supermarkets
BAILEYS has launched a new "epic" flavour in the UK - but it's only available at one supermarket.
Diageo, which makes the tipple, has brought Cinnamon Swirl to the market and it's on sale exclusively in Sainsbury's stores.

The beverage was unveiled on shelves earlier this month, with a 700ml bottle costing £20. You won't find it on the Sainsbury's website though.
Shoppers have just started spotting the new flavour in shops, including one who posted a picture of the bottle from their local store on the Food Finds UK Facebook page.
Commenting on the post, one fellow shopper said: "I might have to give this a go it will taste like Christmas."
Another chipped in: "Need to buy this love cinnamon."
Meanwhile, a third simply said: "Oooh that sounds epic!!!"
Shoppers keen to buy the new Cinnamon Swirl flavour will have to be quick as it's only on sale for a limited time, Diageo said.
The 700ml bottle comes with 2,191 calories inside, or 156 per 50ml serving.
Shoppers who don't have a Sainsbury's near them can buy bottles of the new Baileys flavour at other lesser-known retailers online.
The Whisky World is selling a 500ml bottle for £18.90 while The Drink Supermarket is selling the same size for £17.99.
That makes Sainsbury's the cheapest option as its 700ml bottle is £2.80 per 100ml, instead of £3.60 per 100ml or more at the two above retailers.
Shoppers not so keen on the new Cinnamon Swirl flavour can get a classic 700ml bottle of Baileys cheapest at B&M for £14.
Remember, you can compare the prices of thousands of supermarket products through the website.
Or, you can flick through online prices by using the Google Shopping/Product tab.
OTHER SAINSBURY'S NEWS
Sainsbury's shoppers earlier this month slammed a new Nectar Card rule saying it makes it harder to get discounts.
Loyalty card customers can now unlock personalised "Your Nectar Prices" offers based on their shopping habits at tills.
However, shoppers will need to "unlock" the deals by selecting them on the Nectar website or app before they go to the supermarket.
The quirk has left shoppers fuming over having to do "homework" before the weekly grocery trip.

History of Baileys
Baileys, first released in 1974, combines Irish whiskey, and chocolate and vanilla flavours.
Each year, around 200million litres of fresh milk are needed to produce enough Baileys to meet demand - around 3.3billion milkshakes.
Diageo is produced by R&A Bailey & Co, owned by Diageo, and currently sells a range of different flavours including Birthday Cake, Salted Caramel and even Toffee Popcorn.
The tipple in all its formats is currently sold in more than 160 countries across the world.
The bank has confirmed the 1.8million customers on its systems will start being transferred from October, with all moved by December.
The supermarket chain is set to roll out On-the-Go food hubs across its stores from autumn too.
It comes after the retailer closed all remaining patisserie, hot food and pizza counters in its larger stores and 61 in-store cafes in April.
