Review: Baileys Salted Caramel Irish Cream Liqueur

baileys salted caramel - CopyBaileys Salted Caramel Irish Cream Liqueur was introduced just in time for Thanksgiving, or as some people call it, the start of Irish cream season.  It replaces Baileys with a hint of Caramel.  In one year Baileys has completely revamped their flavored line of Irish Cream.  Gone are their Hint of Caramel, Coffee, Mint, and Hazelnut.  These flavors have been replaced with Chocolate Cherry, Vanilla Cinnamon, and now Salted Caramel.  By my count that leaves us one down from last year, maybe Baileys has a pre-Christmas surprise.  If that’s the case I’m hoping they start sharing their Orange Truffle or Chocolat Luxe flavors.  These are two flavors Baileys has kept to themselves across the pond.

Review: Baileys Chocolate Cherry Irish Cream

002 - CopyBaileys Chocolate Cherry Irish Cream was just launched and I was lucky enough to get my hands on a bottle a little early.  It is one of six Irish Cream flavors Baileys currently creates for the US market.  While I had heard rumblings of a new Baileys flavor to replace the recently departed Baileys with a Hint Of Mint Chocolate, I had not heard any specifics.  My initial thought was Baileys might start bringing over some of the tempting flavors they have kept on their side of the pond.  Flavors like Orange Truffle, Biscotti, or possibly even their Chocolat Luxe.  While I have not given up hope of tasting those three flavors, I am very excited to break open my bottle of their new Chocolate Cherry.  Baileys describes the taste as their Original Baileys blended with luscious chocolate and seductive dark cherries.  I can’t wait.

Review: Baileys Vanilla Cinnamon

Bailey Vanilla CinnamonBaileys Vanilla Cinnamon was launched in August 2013, and it is one of six flavors now available from Baileys in the US.  The offer additional flavors in different markets.  Created with Madagascar vanilla and cinnamon my first thought was this must be their responce to the success of Rum Chata.  Taller and thinner than their Original Irish Cream bottle and featuring a vanilla blossom and cinnamon stick on the label, Baileys has created a fresh look for their entire line of Irish cream liqueurs.

Review: Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur

Baileys Irish CreamIn 1971 a group of managers at Gilbey’s had an idea to create a unique Irish drink, possibly something to introduce to the international markets.  Introduced in 1974, Baileys Irish Cream created a new product category by developing a process of combining fresh dairy cream with alcohol.  This innovation gave this cream based product a 2 year shelf life and prevented the cream from separating in the bottle.  Today there are well over 100 cream liqueurs but Baileys remains the worlds best selling liqueur.  Pictured with their new bottle design and now owed by Diageo, Baileys still commands a 70% world wide Irish cream market share.
