Tom Jago, a former executive at Gilbey’s of Ireland,
created Irish Baileys in 1974 after being approached by the owners of a Dublin restaurant looking for a unique and innovative drink.
Jago’s experimentation with various ingredients culminated in the perfect combination of Irish whiskey, cream, and sweetened condensed milk, which became the signature recipe for Baileys.
Baileys quickly gained worldwide popularity and became known as a versatile drink that could be enjoyed in a variety of ways. The brand introduced new flavors and variations over time, including Mint Chocolate and Salted Caramel.
Today, Baileys is one of the most well-known and beloved liqueurs globally, selling millions of bottles annually. It is commonly used in cocktails, cooking, and baking.
