Saint Brendan's


Cream Liqueur
Purchase Price: $9
Place of Purchase: Warehouse - New York, NY
Rating: 8.6


This was Bargain of the Year for 2006, and the ensuing years have not seen its stature diminished in any way. Supposedly this was conceived as a "clone" of Bailey's, and while that might not seem such an admirable goal in theory, in practice it works just fine. Every bit as lush and creamy as Bailey's for just about half the price. Over a few ice cubes it's simply unbeatable as a dessert bridging the meal and the Scotch. I'm a bit of a name-brand snob myself, but this is just too good a bargain to stroll by looking the other way. Buy a bottle by next Tuesday and on Wednesday morning you'll be emailing me your sincere thanks. ;-)
