I have tried every Irish Cream (some "so called") that I've been able to find in my local stores. I had tried Carolans in the past and was not impressed. Most recent "find" is St. Brendan's - absolute closest to Bailey's if that's your preference, and very reasonable. Was out of town recently and only alternative to Baileys ($30.00)in store was Carolans, so bought a bottle. It was even worse than I remembered. Back home now, and the Carolan's will sit with what remains in it since we stocked up on St. Brendan's. Noted, this cream originated way back in 1978. This is not an old traditional Irish cream recipe, more like a cheap, fakey impersonator.
