2016 Best Tasting Irish Cream Liqueurs
What are the best tasting Irish Cream Liqueurs? Before we get started lets start at the beginning. In 1971 a group of managers at Gilbeys had an idea to create a unique Irish drink to sell to the International market. By 1974 they had developed a process of combining fresh dairy cream with alcohol while still providing a 2 year shelf life. This product Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur launched an entire new spirit category. Today there are cream liqueurs made with rum, bourbon, scotch, vodka, and even tequila. With hundreds of cream liqueurs now available Baileys still remains the best selling Irish cream liqueur and one of the worlds best selling spirits. That said there are now over 100 Irish Cream Liqueurs produced today. Believe it or not all of these Irish creams are produced at six or seven distillery’s in Ireland. While I haven’t tasted every Irish cream liqueur, dozens are not offered for sale in North America, I have tried over 60, and reviewed over 50. There may be someone who has sampled more Irish Creams, but I have seen no one review more. I also like Irish Cream Liqueurs, to some reviewers, Irish Cream is just another spirit to review. These fact alone make Best Tasting Spirits a leading source for Irish Cream reviews.

So what are the Best Tasting Irish Creams, and what makes them special? Read more
