Beautiful bottle of Baileys Almande Almondmilk liqueur

I was in Argonaut Wine and Liquor in Denver - if it's out there, Argonaut's has it- when I happened upon this new product.

Isn't the bottle pretty?  That is sincerely what drew my attention to it.

Then I noticed "ALMONDMILK" on the label and was excited because I gave up dairy two years ago because of a sensitivity. (Dairy gives me migraines.  Anyone else?)  Poor me.  I have been Baileys-free in my coffee for two years!  

This could change everything.

According to the label and ingredients list, this product contains no dairy and is gluten-free.  I'm not gluten-free, but I'm sure this makes it even better for me.  So, I bought it.

I went home and immediately made coffee and poured in my new Baileys Almande Liqueur. (What else would you have me do??)

Coffee with Baileys Almande Almondmilk liqueur in it.  No, it's not miso soup.

Hmmm.  Miso soup isn't what I was in the mood for, but I haven't had Baileys in my coffee in over two years (did I mention that?) so I'm game.  

BTW, the website does say it's best enjoyed chilled.  Maybe this is why.

Once stirred, it looks a lot more enticing.

Stirring helps.  Until it settles.  So drink up while it's still mixed ;)  Just kidding.  Re-stir  if the visual matters to you.  And it does matter, until it doesn't.  It's only 13% alcohol, so it won't matter unless you add whiskey like I do :)  The good news is that stirring affects the visual but not the taste. And the taste is good.

Since I haven't had Baileys Irish Cream in a couple of years, I can't give a good comparison of it to this new almond version.  As far as my memory holds, though, I actually prefer the taste of this one.  It is less thick as the original and less sweet, both of which are good things in my book.

It was juuuuuust right without the syrupy-sweet heaviness of the original.

I will certainly buy this product again.

It may be difficult to find right now.  Searching on the Baileys Almande website for locations that sell it, I can't even find a place in Denver, Colorado, which is where I purchased the liqueur.  I expect that will change soon, though.

I'm curious to know what you guys think about Baileys Almande Liqueur.  Have you tried it?  Would you drink it even if you aren't dairy or gluten free?  Also, what other products do I need to try in this vein? I'd love to hear from you!

As always, I appreciate you for reading my blog.
