Baileys

Can anyone tell me please, how long I can keep a bottle of Baileys in the fridge once opened.Someone told me it had a short life. Thanks

I think there is a sell by date on the label. It is good on icecream and in coffee. I am sure it won't last long.

From the Bailey's website:

"Baileys shelf life:

Baileys is the only cream liqueur that guarantees its taste for 2 years from the day it was made, opened or unopened, stored in the fridge or not when stored away from direct sunlight at a temperature range of 0-25 degrees centigrade.

One of the keys to achieving this 2 year shelf-life is in our unique process of blending of fresh Irish cream with the spirits and the whiskey without the use of preservatives. The alcohol acts as a natural preservative for the product.

Under normal conditions of storage Baileys has a shelf-life of 24 months.

If you are concerned about a bottle of Baileys please check the Best Taste Before date on the bottle - all bottles carry a Best Taste Before date. This number is located on the bottom left hand side of the back label. Example : Code 11 20XY would mean that we guarantee the product would taste perfect until November20XY (XY is the year 2 years from the date of manufacture)."

Thanks, I am the only one to like it. Someone bought me a big bottle so will take me a while to get through it. The sell by date is OK but because it has cream it it doesn't keep as well

I lurve Baileys. I hate all spirits but Baileys is delish. I could easily just sit there and demolish a whole bottle without feeling drunk !!!!!
