It is the original Irish cream invented by a team led by Tom Jago for Gilbeys of Ireland. Tom Jago, a product-development executive at International Distillers & Vintners, in 1973 was looking for a new drink to be produced by the London-based company’s Irish arm. He asked two consultants to brainstorm.
Their first attempt was done with a kitchen mixer, but both substances soon separated when bottled, despite being absolutely sweet to the palate. Finally, on November 26th 1974, by way of an accident, Bailey’s Irish Cream Liqueur was born.
A breakthrough liquid innovation Baileys Irish Cream was the first of its kind in the marketplace: success quickly followed with significant growth leading it to become one of the most successful spirits brands in the world.
