Once upon a time, a small, let’s say, determined group had a brilliant but lofty idea where they tried to have their cake and eat it too. You see, our founders wanted to take two simple treasures that their country was known for, delicious dairy cream and world-renowned Irish whiskey, and combine them. It took two years of trial and error but by 1974 we had added the finest spirits, rich chocolate and vanilla flavours (with some other flavours and ingredients) along with a little magic, to create the Baileys recipe we now know and love.

Instead of kicking back and coasting on the fact that we had created the world’s most loved spirit, we set our sights on innovation and delicious trend setting. And it all begins and ends with Baileys ingredients
