Our Take on Baileys Original
At DubaiBottles, we believe that some spirits are more than just drinks — they’re experiences. Baileys Original is the ultimate experience in indulgence. This is the Irish cream liqueur that started it all. In fact, it was invented in 1973 by Tom Jago and David Gluckman, who were tasked with creating a drink that combined Irish whiskey with cream. After a year of experimentation, Baileys was born and quickly became a global icon.
This exceptional liqueur is crafted from a unique blend of premium Irish whiskey and fresh Irish dairy cream. A secret recipe of cocoa and vanilla adds depth and complexity. The result is a perfectly balanced, velvety smooth taste that’s as versatile as it is delicious. Whether you’re enjoying it over ice, adding it to your coffee, mixing it into a cocktail, or simply savouring it as a decadent treat, Baileys Original brings a touch of Irish warmth and sophistication to any occasion.

Serving Tips from Our Cellar
Baileys Original is best enjoyed well‑chilled. Store it in the fridge for a few hours before serving, or serve over plenty of ice. For the ultimate treat, add a shot of Baileys to your favourite coffee and top with whipped cream. If you’re ordering delivery in Dubai, we recommend chilling it as soon as it arrives for the perfect serving temperature.
The Story Behind Baileys Original
Baileys was created in 1973 by a team of innovators led by Tom Jago and David Gluckman of International Distillers & Vintners (IDV). They set out to create a drink that combined the smoothness of Irish cream with the warmth of Irish whiskey. The result was the world’s first Irish cream liqueur.
The recipe remains a closely guarded secret. Only the exact proportions are known to a select few. Today, Baileys is the world’s #1 Irish cream liqueur. It’s sold in over 160 countries and beloved by millions for its distinctive taste and its ability to elevate any moment into something special. Discover more on the official Baileys website.
