It feels like 2024 has sped past, and while it may feel early, there are just two months left until Christmas day.
For those who like to be prepared, it’s time to start planning for the festive season as there’s only a limited amount of time left to organise this year’s celebrations before Santa makes his annual visit.
Fortunately, Amazon has come to the rescue with a big deal on a one-litre bottle of Baileys, now available for just £13. This beloved liqueur, described as ‘the sweetest meeting of fine Irish whiskey and spirits, Irish dairy cream, rich chocolate and vanilla flavours’, is perfect either as a standalone drink or served over ice cream for a touch of elegance.
This year, Amazon is offering the one-litre bottle of Baileys at a discounted price of £13, a saving of £9 off its usual retail price of £22. The same bottle can also be found at Sainsbury’s for £21.95 and Asda for £13.
Baileys Original Irish Cream Liqueur has received high praise from Amazon customers, boasting a rating of 4.9 out of five from over 14,000 reviews. It’s a best-selling product, with 8,000 purchases of the one-litre bottle in the past month alone.
Among these reviewers, an impressive 90% have given it a full five-star rating.
Thrifty shoppers have left positive reviews after snagging Baileys Original Irish Cream Liqueur at a much lower price than the supermarkets. One satisfied customer shared online: “Purchasing Baileys Original Irish Cream Liqueur at a price cheaper than supermarkets is a fantastic find. The quality and taste are just as excellent as ever, making it a great value for money. If you come across this deal, don’t hesitate to take advantage of it. Enjoying the creamy, smooth taste of Baileys without the usual price tag is a delightful experience.” [SIC]
Another ecstatic buyer suggested it’s ‘the perfect Christmas gift’, expressing: “You can’t go wrong with this delicious liqueur around the holidays, and for this price, it’s a wonderful present for others in the family. I order this every year for my mum and every year she enjoys it. It’s a great quality spirit and comes in a cute bottle.” [SIC]
However, not everyone was singing praises. A more critical review stated: “I like the idea of cream liqueurs but they always end up being a bit sickly for me. I thought I’d try this at half price – still not exactly a bargain for what it is as a somewhat unrefined drink. I attempted giving it the oomph it needs to balance the creamy sweetness by adding whisky, but I won’t be trying again.” [SOC]
Despite the mixed reviews, the liqueur remains a staple in many households ahead of and during the festive season, so if you’re looking for a bargain you might want to move quickly!
Alternatively, for those seeking a unique liqueur bursting with taste, the Mozart Chocolate Cream Pumpkin Spice Liqueur could be more to your taste. It’s described as: “A great autumnal drink and – thanks to its fun packaging – also perfect for Halloween. Melding chocolate, caramel, pumpkin juice, cinnamon, clove, vanilla and a little chilli”.

You can find it at the Whisky Exchange for £14.75 or Drinks Supermarket for £16.49.
For those who prefer a rum-based liqueur, the Bumbu Cream Rum Liqueur is reduced from £29 to £22 and the unique, premium bottle would make it a great gift.
