Baileys is a smooth, creamy liqueur with hints of chocolate and vanilla. It is a perfect blend of triple-distilled whiskey and fresh cream. The exact recipe is a closely guarded secret, but it is known to include chocolate, vanilla, and caramel. The drink consists of 50% cream and contains no preservatives, as their role is fulfilled by the high-quality Irish whiskey. The company was founded in Dublin in 1974. The creator and "father" of Baileys was David Dand. He wanted to create a truly luxurious drink, a liqueur unlike anything that had existed before. He assembled a team of professionals and began experimenting to create a cream liqueur. Before him, no one had combined cream with whiskey. Mixing these two ingredients is not difficult, but how do you ensure they don't separate in the bottle? The recipe was perfected only after three years of effort. For production, milk from Irish farms is used. The company also collaborates with distilleries across the country, using only high-quality aged whiskey. Today, Baileys is exported to more than 150 countries worldwide.
