[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] GS Retail announced on the 19th that it will launch an ice cream that faithfully captures the flavor of the world-famous liqueur Baileys Original on the 21st.

After eight months of research since the beginning of this year, more than 100 people participated in sample testing. As a result, they created a 0% alcohol ice cream with a clean rum flavor at first taste and a sweet chocolate and caramel finish. The price is 11,800 KRW for a pint-sized container.

The inspiration for this ice cream, Baileys Original, is the world's first cream liqueur made from Irish whiskey, Irish cream, cocoa, and vanilla. It is popular worldwide as it can be enjoyed in various cocktail styles, such as on the rocks served with ice or blended with ice in a mixer for a refreshing taste.

A GS Retail official said, “Baileys ice cream can be enjoyed in various ways with my own recipes, and pairing it with Baileys Original enhances the flavor even more. It is delicious on its own but also perfect when paired with whiskey or consumed as an affogato.”
