Aldi Ballycastle Irish County Cream

If you’re a fan of Bailey’s you’ll be unable to resist this ridiculously moreish Irish cream liqueur at a fraction of the price.

Having not tasted them side by side I can’t highlight the exact similarities or differences but I certainly don’t think you'll find yourself shortchanged by the creamy, slightly caramelly flavour which makes me think of the condensed milk I used to have as a kid.

At only £3.99 for 70cl (Bailey’s is selling for about £12 a litre this weekend but is normally £19-20) it’s a ridiculously good bargain. Perfect both for St Patrick’s Day and a present for your mum. Result!
