Baileys Espresso Crème
Irish cream with Colombian espresso beans and a light chocolate note. Less sweet than the Original and made for everyone who immediately thinks of coffee when they think of Baileys.
Coffee and cream in one bottle
Baileys Espresso Crème is made with Colombian espresso beans, Irish whiskey and cream. The espresso takes center stage, with the familiar Baileys Original Irish Cream and light chocolate notes behind it. It contains real coffee, so it also contains a little caffeine.
Where the Original is sweet and vanilla-like, Espresso Crème has the light bitterness of coffee. This makes it better suited as an after-dinner drink with coffee and as a base for coffee cocktails. At 17% alcohol, it is at the same level as the Original.
In brief
Coffee first, then cream
Freshly brewed espresso
Roasted coffee upfront, with sweet cream and a hint of cocoa underneath.
Creamy with a bitter edge
Smooth and full-bodied, but less sweet than the Original. The espresso gives it a lightly bitter, grown-up edge.
Coffee and chocolate
A medium-length finish in which coffee and a light chocolate note linger together.
