Tesco slashes the price of award-winning liqueur that ‘tastes better than Bailey's'
And no, it's not the go-to classic Bailey's.
A 700 mililitre bottle of Coole Swan Superior Irish Cream Liqueur is available for just £26.50 from Tesco.
And if you're a Clubcard holder, you can nab this popular drink for £20.
The "smooth and creamy" drink consists of single-malt Irish whiskey, Belgian white chocolate, and fresh dairy cream.
Coole Swan own a family farm in Ireland, where they source the cream that gives the drink its classic "silky" quality.
'Better' than Bailey's
While Baileys is the traditional choice for many, Coole Swan proves to be a popular contender.
Some fans have even compared the two, describing the Tesco buy as "like Baileys, but better".
One shopper claimed it's in a "different league" compared to other cream liqueurs.
Rave reviews
Coole Swan has also garnered prestigious awards, including Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
It was also named the #1 Irish cream liqueur by Tasting Table, according to the Manchester Evening News.
Tesco customers awarded the liqueur an average of 4.7 out of five stars.
'I'm obsessed with it' says Irish shopper as new drink hits stores for first time – but there are loads of mixed reviews
"This is so beautiful, creamy and a better class of liqueur. Move over, Baileys, there's a new drink in town," said one shopper.
"The most delicious Irish cream liqueur I have ever tasted," agreed another person.
"Creamy, luxuriously smooth and very moreish."
They added: "The taste of alcohol is not overwhelming either, which I find with Baileys and other Irish creams.
"Don't think I could go back to anything else after trying this; the only downside is the price."
NHS guidelines on drinking alcohol
According to the NHS, regularly drinking more than 14 units of alcohol a week risks damaging your health.
To keep health risks from alcohol to a low level if you drink most weeks:
men and women are advised not to drink more than 14 units a week on a regular basis
spread your drinking over 3 or more days if you regularly drink as much as 14 units a week
if you want to cut down, try to have several drink-free days each week
If you're pregnant or think you could become pregnant, the safest approach is not to drink alcohol at all to keep risks to your baby to a minimum.

An A-rated cottage just 2km from the Atlantic coast for €595,000
The stone-clad section of Black Antler — a contemporary 145 sq m, A2-rated, single-storey countryside home — marks the spot where the original two-room cottage stood on this former working farm. The 4.7-acre property had been vacant for 45 years when the present owners arrived in 2020. As the cottage was considered unstable, they opted to rebuild it using the original stone and turn into a single room — now the kitchen/diner with vaulted ceiling, a wall of exposed stone, sliding doors to an inner courtyard, custom-designed units with quartz counter tops, an island and integrated appliances. This space is open to the living room extension, which has windows on three sides to maximise light and the views, a vaulted ceiling and a custom-built TV unit and electric fireplace. A larger extension — clad in deep charred Siberian larch — on the other side of the cottage comprises an entrance hall with a huge picture window overlooking the courtyard, three bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and en suites, a guest WC and a utility room that doubles as an office. Connecting to the bedrooms is a hallway with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out to the countryside. The house has triple-glazed windows throughout, air-to-water underfloor heating and an EV charger. The property's outside space includes a long wooden-fenced driveway with views across to the spectacular Dartry mountains, patio, garden, paddocks and woodland. The agents note that the land could be suitable for hobby farming, equestrian use or to create wildflower meadows. Black Antler is about 1.5km from the N15 and about 2km — as the crow flies — from the coast. Bundoran is 8km away and Mullaghmore is about 10km. What we love The charred larch exterior and all those gorgeous window views. Good to know The house has been used as an Airbnb, achieving rates of €200 a night. Agent A grand entrance hall with Ionic columns, pilasters, archways and a rotunda overhead is far from what you'd expect to see in a vernacular Irish country farmhouse built in the mid-19th century. The 25 sq m hall in Bog Hall, Oristown, is part of a three-block extension added in 2006 during a full renovation of the existing house. Linked by new corridors on either side are the other blocks: a bedroom with an en suite at one end and a dining room with adjoining utility and guest WC at the other. • A Victorian villa on Killiney Avenue with views of the Wicklow mountains for €5.25m The new hall also opens to the original hallway, off which are a living room on one side and the kitchen on the other. All four of the main ground-floor rooms are large and dual aspect. Three more bedrooms and the family bathroom are upstairs. The house is on one acre of lovely gardens that include herbaceous borders, formal courtyard areas, and mature shrubs and trees. Outbuildings include a renovated barn, a bespoke greenhouse set within the ruins of an old farm building, and a folly-style boiler house and turf building with gothic windows and columns salvaged from a local church. What we love The big sash windows and the various shades of green woodwork. Good to know Kells is about 7km away and Navan is about 14km. Agent Built in the mid-1800s, No 1 Richmond Terrace is an elegant two-storey over basement semi-detached home with lots of original features and views at the back — from its upper windows — of the River Slaney. On Spawell Road, this 316 sq m house, which has been owned by the same family for almost 40 years, is within easy walking distance of Wexford town centre and just 650m from the train station. Accessed at the front by a flight of granite steps, its ground-floor accommodation comprises entrance hall, two fine reception rooms, each with a pair of sash windows and original shutters, fireplace and decorative cornicing, plus a study/office. • Look inside this €2.3m Victorian Dun Laoghaire home packed with original features A contemporary staircase leads down to the basement, where the main event is a kitchen/living/dining room running the depth of the house. Features include an oil-fired Aga, wood-burning stove and two tall windows that open to the garden. Also at this level is a utility room. Four bedrooms — one with direct access to a fire escape — are on the first floor and there are bathrooms on two returns. At the attic level, there's another WC and shower, plus a walk-in wardrobe and eaves storage. The well-maintained outside space includes cobble-lock driveway, a courtyard, lawn, barbecue patio, herbaceous beds and mature trees and shrubs. What we love The lovely windows and timber floors. Good to know The house is listed as a protected structure and is BER

Judge wants explanation from solicitors over 'no knowledge' letter in spy case
A High Court judge has said he wants an explanation over a letter from the solicitors for HR firm Deel Inc, saying their client had "no knowledge" of the following by private investigators of a payroll manager at the centre of a rival business's "spy" affair. Mr Justice Brian Cregan said he was not going to join Deel as either a defendant or notice party in proceedings being brought by Keith O'Brien, the man who was allegedly paid €5,500 a month to pass on trade secrets of his former employer, HR software firm Rippling, to rival Deel. Rippling is now suing Deel and others, including Mr O'Brien, over the matter. Advertisement The judge said he would not join Deel in Mr O'Brien's separate case alleging harassment and surveillance because doing so, of the court's own motion, was an exceptional jurisdiction. It was also unfair to the O'Brien side, who did not want Deel added anyway, and because of the separate Rippling case against Deel. Mr O'Brien's case is against two private investigators which he claims have been involved in harassment of him and his family, including one who allegedly followed him by car to various locations and photographed his children playing in their garden. The investigators, Mark Murran, also known as Rock Investigations, and Cliona Woods of Gotham Services, strongly deny any overt surveillance or claims of harassment and intimidation. Advertisement That case was back before Mr Justice Cregan on Friday, when the judge ruled out joining Deel but said his main outstanding concern was a pre-litigation letter written by Deel's solicitors, Hayes LLP, in reply to a call from Mr O'Brien's solicitor to desist from the alleged surveillance/harassment. In that letter, Hayes stated their client had no knowledge of the cars allegedly following Mr O'Brien. On Tuesday, the judge described the Hayes letter as either a "blatant lie or a misrepresentation" because it was later admitted as being incorrect, because Deel said it had organised "discreet" but not overt surveillance on Mr O'Brien. On Friday, he said: "The question from my point of view is that this is a letter from reputable solicitors who are officers of the court and it is blatantly wrong". Advertisement He said Deel's barrister, Paul Gardiner SC, instructed by Hayes, indicated he (the judge) should not have said it was a lie or misrepresentation, but it seemed to the judge that it is still an issue for the court and should be properly addressed. He said because of that letter, earlier this week in another case in which Hayes were representatives, he had a question as to whether he could rely on it, although he did do so in that case. He believed the next step was for Hayes to swear an affidavit as to how that replying letter to the O'Brien side was written. Mr Gardiner said the letter was true at the time, and while it turned out to be incorrect because discreet surveillance was commissioned by Deel, when written, it was believed to be correct. He felt that what the court might be doing is "putting a wedge" between Deel and its representation. Mr Gardiner also believed the judge was being unfair to both Hayes and Deel in circumstances where fair procedures and due process have yet to take place and where the judge's words were being widely reported. Advertisement If the court is to have a separate inquiry into this letter, it should at least not take place until the O'Brien harassment proceedings have concluded which may well find there was no harassment, he said. Mr Justice Cregan said he would give two weeks for Mr Gardiner to take instructions and consider the matter more fully, and he said his concerns may be assuaged if it is explained in an affidavit. The judge also granted consent orders, sought by Mr Murran and Ms Woods, that Mr O'Brien preserve any information, including on CCTV, dashcam and phone, relating to the allegations against them. He also continued the injunctions restraining further surveillance.
