Ryan's Irish Style Cream Liqueur

This Irish Style Cream from Ryan's rivals many products originating from Ireland. It's blended in the USA by Sazerac using imported Irish whiskey. The cream is rich, the whiskey is sufficiently smooth, and I appreciate the blend of other typical Irish Cream flavors. To my palate, it has a slightly richer chocolate note than most. While not my absolute favorite, it's exceptional for its price point under $10 a bottle. I genuinely prefer it to Bailey's.

Ryan's has a milky, light beige color and displays an alcohol leg pattern of two drips followed by a wide separation. The scent is creamy with a rather potent Irish whiskey presence. The flavor is predominantly creamy, with the whiskey flavor present only subtly underneath. The body is medium, offering a velvety texture. Ryan's finishes semi-sweet.

I reckon it's as good as Bailey's, perhaps even a little more sweet with a less pronounced alcohol taste.

It's at least as good as Bailey's, maybe even better.

Quite good, especially considering the cost.

An unpleasant aftertaste.
