If people like that read, when in Scotland I heard the origin of Drambuie.

I never suspected Drambuie had that deep of a history

Interesting and includes the most lucid history I have seen of the wars between Scotland and England.

Well this post was good marketing for Bailey's --well Irish cream anyway.
Was going to Aldi's as it was, and picked up their version of Bailey's called O'Donnell's Irish Country Cream.
Made with grape wine.... don't waste your time. A little funky, and not even close to Bailey's richness.
