THE best Irish cream liqueurs have been revealed ahead of Christmas – and a bargain supermarket is on par with Baileys.<\/p>\n

In a blind taste test, consumer champion Which? pitted the Christmas staple against versions by Aldi, Lidl, M&S, Morrisons and Sainsbury\u2019s.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Each product was assessed by 69 people on factors including taste, mouthfeel, aroma, and appearance.<\/p>\n

Baileys triumphed overall with a 76% score, but only just, with several supermarket liqueurs impressing its tasters. <\/p>\n

In fact, Lidl's Deluxe Irish Cream scored just one percentage point less than Baileys overall, and it's \u00a32 cheaper meaning it could be a better option. <\/p>\n

The tasters really liked the discounter's flavour, appearance as well as mouthfeel. <\/p>\n

It's available for \u00a37.99 for 70cl (\u00a31.14 per 100ml).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the iconic brand nabbed the top spot thanks to its sweetness, creaminess, and colour.<\/p>\n

Tasters noted the "good balance between the cream and the alcohol".<\/p>\n

If you won't accept anything but the real deal, make sure you shop around as you can typically avoid paying full price for Baileys.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of offers in the run-up to Christmas and prices change at the last minute.<\/p>\n

Currently, Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury\u2019s are all selling 70cl bottles for \u00a310 (\u00a31.42 per 100ml) – the cheapest prices around. <\/p>\n

The offers in Tesco and Sainsbury's are only for Clubcard and Nectar cardholders, but they're both free to sign up for.<\/p>\n

The larger 1litre bottle – usually around \u00a322 – is on offer for \u00a313 (\u00a31.30 per 100ml) at Asda and Morrisons, as well as Tesco for Clubcard holders.<\/p>\n

How do the rest compare?<\/h2>\n

All of the Irish Cream liqueurs included in the test scored well for flavour, so it's worth trying cheaper alternatives when you shop.<\/p>\n
