For lovers of Baileys Irish Cream

[El Presidente]

 

For lovers of Baileys Irish Cream....Andy Ryan introduced me to 5 Farms Irish Cream  from county cork 

Bloody hell. It makes Baileys taste like Bud Lite. 

If you can....track it down. Every house should have at least one  bottle 

 

"There’s a distinct and somewhat heavy whiskey note on the nose here — not a bad thing, but a bit unexpected in a world of peppermint-cinnamon-flan-flavored liqueurs where the spirit is an afterthought. A bit sharp with alcohol (again a surprise, given the proof), the nose hints at vanilla and chocolate and a bit of cinnamon, while letting dairy cream notes percolate through the mix.

The palate is quite nicely rounded, melding the whiskey and the creamery notes well, taking the mix into a realm of butterscotch, salted caramel, and some spice, the lattermost of which lingers on the back end, where honey-scented whiskey and cocoa powder form a delightfully fresh union. Hard to put down, it’s lovely, very solid stuff."

i have not been able to go near baileys for many years, ever since a mate, who was a chef, and i were doing food and wine presentations in vietnam. we headed out one night in saigon and eventually ended up in a little bar called the gecko, run by the bloke who ran the local rugby team, full of frenchmen. they were celebrating a win so we were allowed to join them. we had a hoot. massive night, drinking what i believed were baileys cocktails. we drank a lot of them. at one stage, the prop picked up my mate and twirled him like a baton. my mate is bigger than i am. 

all wound up just before dawn and as we left, i said to our host that i'd love the recipe for the baileys cocktails. 

he looked at me and said that they had no baileys there. turns out we had been drinking home made vietnamese chocolate vodka. one of the worst hangovers in history. 

the chef could not get up for service the next day until late evening. i thought i was tougher as i got up and headed off for lunch in the back alleys. where i realised that the only reason i was not unconscious in bed was that i was still hopelessly pissed. i missed the dinner service. we both claimed that we'd been served something dodgy which had laid us low.

so even though it was not guilty, i can't go near baileys.

nice bottle.  smart marketing- reminiscent of the old milk bottles.

Stumbled into a bottle a few months back and picked it up more as a novelty for the bottle. Really is a top notch product. Stands out with the packaging and the taste. For what it's worth, I'd recommend picking one up as well.

We also enjoyed some with Andy in Maiori as he'd brought along a bottle or two. Agreed, quite nice and a few steps above the Baileys. Fresh cream and locally produced, it's not your average Irish cream for sure.

Appears it may actually be available here!

Technically, you were served something dodgy, so it was a legitimate excuse.

 

I still remember when Woolworths brought out their own brand Irish Cream. That was almost as dodgy as their own brand Scotch.

The Buffalo Trace Kentucky version is pretty good for US folks.

A couple of my locals carry it, and another called Coole Swan (which uses white chocolate as well as cream).

I don't drink it much, but will give it a go.

[Hadroxity]

Sounds like a treat, I'll have to pick some up.

I can recommend Merlyn Welsh Cream Liqueur. Very Bailey's like but better. Made by the Penderyn distillery. The whisky is shit (only aged 3 years) but the Brecon Gin and Merlyn are fab.

They distribute this stuff in a lot of U.S states. I think they will have full U.S distribution in the fall.

In the US, it was introduced by McCormick in Weston, MO through their Holladay Distillery.  If you are in Kansas City, make the drive to Weston and take the tour.  If you do the tour, you can sample their products, including Five Farms.  My wife is a big fan.

Their bourbon will be available in less than a year.  In the meantime, you can purchase their White Dog fresh-off-the still moonshine.  It’s essentially the antidote for today’s 50:50 poll @MoeFOH  Heavy consumption will:

1) Convince you that you can fly and mitigates any risk of shrinking by guaranteeing to make you 10 foot tall and bulletproof.

2) Its effects cause you to lose any concern for those around you, essentially making you invisible (at least in your mind) and you couldn’t care less when (not if) your bowels release.

Perfect! I knew there was a reason I made up those conditions. 

That White Dog reminds me of this scene... "It's a hand on the brain" hahaha...

You nailed it exactly.

I've been making my own Clark's Irish Creme from an old Irish recipe shared with me by a beloved friend's mom before she passed away. It's an old family recipe that she inherited from a previous generation, and she made me swear to keep private and never share. I make a batch of it yearly before the holidays, it takes at least 30 days of fermenting in the fridge because is has eggs in it. It goes down smooth and rather quickly. I absolutely love it, especially after a nice holiday dinner, but it does have a bit of a kick to it, not like the weak Baileys milk you buy in the liquor store. 

 

[NYMets01]

This looks incredible.

I second the homemade version of Bailey’s. We do it every year around the holidays. It is nothing like the watered down version you buy in store.

Highly recommend folks giving it a try.

[Skypilot]

I was surprised to find a bottle of the Five Farms in Hamilton Montana today. I must say it is wonderful. 

[lovethehaze]

Um yeah... I have a TW 5 mins away.. field trip in order tomorrow! Baileys truly is crap. Coffee creamer with isopropyl alcohol. Round these parts we drink Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream whenever one might want a Bailey’s. Much better,

I have the BTBC but hadn't cracked it open yet. I'll have to look for some five farms now too

[The Squiggler]

I bought a bottle of Five Farms for my girlfriend for xmas... we still haven't cracked it.  Especially looking forward now!
