ππ Tasting Irish Cream Liqueurs: Which One’s a Corker? ππ


The festive season isn’t complete without a rich Irish cream liqueur to sip by the tree, but which one should you stock up on? I put three to the test: Baileys, Coole Swan, and Aldi’s Specially Selected. Here’s the lowdown! π₯

π« Coole Swan (Β£20 with Tesco Clubcard)
Never tried Coole Swan? You’re in for a treat! This beauty blends single malt Irish whiskey with Belgian white chocolate. Smooth and silky, it doesn’t give that harsh alcohol hit. Priced a bit higher, but its rich, delicate profile might just win you over. Perfect for gifting, too! π Taste score: 9/10
π Baileys (Β£10.98 on sale)
Baileys feels like your Christmas jumper – comforting and classic. With its rich, nostalgic taste, it’s great in coffee or drizzled over dessert. A tad sweet after a big meal, but still a winner in many households. Score: 8/10
πΈ Aldi Specially Selected (Β£7.69)
Bargain alert! Aldi’s offering is a pocket-friendly alternative. It mimics Baileys’ style with a similar taste, though it leans more milky. Ideal for big gatherings, it’s a decent swap for those on a budget. Score: 6.5/10
π The Verdict?
Coole Swan takes the crown! Its luxurious texture and subtle chocolate note set it apart. While a bit pricier, the elegance in every sip makes it worthwhile. Don’t miss outβgrab it when it’s on offer! π₯π«
