Despite being though of an ‘Irish’ drink, Baileys (although made in Ireland) is owned by a huge multi-national company. Diageo also owns Johnnie Walker, Smirnoff vodka, Captain Morgan rum, Gordon’s gin and Guinness (which is not Irish – the harp is the other way around from country’s emblem, as the Protestant founder would not let the government use it!)

It now also part-owns Seedlip (a no-alcohol drink) which began in the founder’s kitchen. Some may say it’s good for a quality drink to go global, others perhaps sad that it no longer is independent (and profits help fund Bailey’s, which uses dairy milk).

Baileys Irish Cream is made from whisky, blended with chocolate and cream, usually served over ice. A few years back Baileys Almande was launched (made with almond milk). Not doing the research for vegans (it contained beeswax), the company had to relaunch. But now has stopped selling it.
