The secret behind Baileys: A different way to celebrate St Patrick’s Day
While celebrating Irish heritage this St. Patrick’s Day, 17th March, enjoy a glass of one of
Ireland’s most famous exports, Baileys Original Irish Cream. Baileys is steeped in tradition,
originating from a small farm in Ireland to become the most successful spirit introduced
anywhere in the world.
Created in 1971, Baileys is the brainchild of R&A Bailey, who combined the great Irish
tradition of distilling (Ireland received the first license to distil whiskey in 1608) with the other
great tradition of dairy farming, creating a uniquely Irish drink.
The product concept seemed relatively simple, however the physical chemistry proved to
be extremely difficult, as whiskey and cream do not naturally mix. After a year of testing,
R&A Bailey found a 100% natural way to combine the two ingredients and the perfect blend
in which the cream is preserved by the whiskey alone.
To ensure consistency in the velvety smooth and delicious taste, the perfect ingredients
were essential, and so came the decision to only use Irish milk from specially chosen Irish
farms... Which is why, still today, every drop of cream used to create Baileys comes from a
select 1,500 Irish farms with a population of 40,000 very special ‘happy’ cows.
Unlike most cows, Baileys cows are kept outdoors in the fresh air for nine months of the year
and fed a mixture of four different types of the finest, tastiest grass from the Emerald Isle -
making the cows super relaxed and Baileys taste so good.
The milk collected from the happy cows is transformed into Baileys less than 36 hours later to
ensure maximum freshness.
The first stage of production is to mix the cream with the finest Irish whiskey. Then the
combination of cocoa nips and vanilla pods combined with a hint of caramel and sugar
are added to create the authentic and unique flavour of Baileys Original Irish Cream.
This St. Patrick’s Day, be sure to indulge in another great Irish tradition with Baileys, the
world’s most loved spirit. Watch the Baileys story at:
