Baileys has unveiled two special limited edition flavours for the 2025 festive season, giving consumers a chance to experience their favourite Irish cream liqueur with a twist. The new offerings are Baileys Terry's Chocolate Orange and Baileys Toffee Popcorn.
The brand recommends that these festive drinks are best enjoyed chilled from the fridge for the optimal tasting experience. This tasting assessment was conducted with the help of a partner to provide a balanced verdict on both new creations.
The Chocolate Orange Contender
First under scrutiny was the Baileys Terry's Chocolate Orange flavour. A 500ml bottle of this limited edition is available from major UK supermarkets including Morrisons for £11, Sainsbury's for £11 (with a Nectar card), and Tesco for £11 (with a Clubcard).
Our tasting revealed that this variation genuinely captures the distinctive taste of a Terry's Chocolate Orange. The flavour profile is remarkably accurate, featuring an unmistakable orange aftertaste that will delight fans of the classic chocolate treat.
For those seeking variety, the bottle suggests several serving methods:
- A Chocolate Orange martini
- Drizzled over ice cream
- Added to coffee
While this flavour could easily warrant a perfect score, its specific taste profile means it has limited universal appeal. Those who aren't ardent fans of Terry's Chocolate Orange might find themselves undecided.
Baileys Terry's Chocolate Orange: 4/5
The Toffee Popcorn Experiment
The second limited edition, Baileys Toffee Popcorn, is marketed as the ideal companion for cosy indoor film nights. The liqueur delivers on its promise with a sweet toffee flavour and an aroma that faithfully replicates toffee popcorn.
However, our tasting panel concluded that while enjoyable, this variation may receive mixed reviews. It's not a substitute for actual toffee popcorn, and we doubt it will become a permanent fixture in the Baileys collection.
Baileys Toffee Popcorn: 3/5
The Surprising Champion
During our tasting session, we revisited Baileys Chocolate, which has successfully transitioned from a limited edition to a permanent collection item - and for good reason. This variant proved to be unquestionably smooth and an absolute crowd-pleaser.
It's scrumptious, easy to drink, and delightful from the first sip to the aftertaste. The flavour is so accomplished that our tasting panel agreed it could genuinely rival the original Baileys classic.
Baileys Chocolate: 5/5
With four weeks remaining until Christmas Day, there's ample opportunity for consumers to sample these limited edition flavours themselves and decide which Baileys variation deserves a place in their festive celebrations.
