Retailer Aldi UK has unveiled a stout-flavoured Irish cream liqueur ahead of St Patrick’s Day next week (17 March 2025).

This new addition to Aldi’s Ballycastle range of cream liqueurs is described as ‘luxuriously smooth’ and creamy, featuring prominent malt notes balanced by the subtle sweetness of Irish cream.

The 12% ABV dairy-based beverage aims to offer the familiar Irish stout flavour, but with a ‘decadent’ twist. It can be enjoyed alone as an after-dinner indulgence, as well as being suitable for mixing into cocktails.

Aldi’s Ballycastle Stout Flavour Country Cream landed in stores on 6 March, priced at £7.00 per 70cl bottle.
