Baileys /faileys

[Nicpem1982]

Any one else had lidls version of baileys it faileys (fake Baileys) as me and dh have lovingly called it

Never had it before and it's gorgeous

Unfortunately the bottles now gone and we're not near a lidl are there any other similar products

Me and dh disagree over whether it should be kept in the fridge or not.

Might need another glass to decide.

Ours is/was fridged

It's Faileys in this household too

Real Baileys seems far too rich, now.

Lol where do you buy your faileys?

Lidl!

Was hoping for an Asda alternative as no where near a lidl

I’ve tried Lidl (more creamy, but not the same rich booze Irish cream taste), and ALDI (s bit thinner, but bitter with an after taste). Don’t think theyve managed to beat the taste of real baileys (original, not fussy on the flavours) but as a cheap alternative they are ok.

Asda used to do one Irish cream i think

I'm on my third glass of Merlin - welsh version of Baileys, less sweet, really creamy with a nice whisky kick.

My DD reckons you cannot beat the original ( I Bought her a miniature of original Baileys and there's a bottle of Sainsburys knocking abut)

Did a blind taste test , she's a label lover anyway, but she picked the proper Baileys

I used to like the M&S version... it’s been a few years though.

I find Tesco's own version of baileys for £8 is fantastic

Discovered it a few years ago. Gorgeous. This year I have been making a cocktail with it adding vodka and a!mind milk.

I had the Aldi cheapy one and can't say I'm a fan. Anyone tried their specially selected one?

We are on our 6th bottle of Aldi's Ballycastle Safe to say we like it a lot!

Always get the brand every Christmas and always refridgerate. Can it be left out safely? I like it cold but not always with ice.

yes yes the mint chocolate aldi faileys with ice and a slosh of milk is lovely

Aldi Faileys is lovely, so is the ASDA one!

The M&S chocolate orange one is very nice.

I love Merlyn's. It is made about 20 miles from me and I fancy going to the distillery to see the whisky being made...Penderyn.

Sainsbury's and Aldi versions are really nice - both versions I would happily use as a substitute. Icelands version if I recall was a little thin/watery and feeneys (brand I bought in Asda) took a bit of getting used too - couldn't put my finger on what was not quite right.

Aldi Faileys is lovely, so is the ASDA one!

The normal Lidl one is ok but he delux Lidl one is better than actual baileys imo 😮

Sainsburys Faileys is lovely. I almost prefer it to the real thing. I find most of the other fakes too thin. I like the creamy mouthfeel of Baileys.
I am aware that using the words “creamy mouthfeel” marks me out as a massive ponce.

I'm on my third bottle of Aldi's Ballycastle. Having tried the dearer one but for £3.79 or whatever, this one is really good.
