Baileys is the world’s very first Irish cream liqueur, created in 1974 in Dublin, Ireland. From the beginning, the brand stood out as a pioneer — blending rich Irish dairy cream with triple-distilled Irish whiskey and fine chocolate flavors into one smooth, indulgent spirit. Owned today by Diageo, Baileys has grown into a global icon, instantly recognizable for its velvety taste and luxurious character.

The cream is sourced fresh from Irish farms, primarily through Tirlán, and delivered to the production facilities within 48 hours of milking. It’s then combined with aged Irish whiskey and natural flavorings, using a patented process that keeps the cream perfectly emulsified without preservatives. Every drop of Baileys sold worldwide — including in the U.S. — is made and bottled exclusively in Ireland, mainly at the Mallusk facility in Northern Ireland and Ballyclare near Dublin. This ensures that no matter where you buy it, you’re getting the authentic Irish-made liqueur.

With over 80 million bottles sold annually, Baileys remains the benchmark of the category it created. It’s not just a drink — it’s the brand that defined Irish cream and continues to dominate the world market with its unmistakable quality and heritage.
