Baileys Irish Cream
The milk is Irish. The LCBO still ranks the bottle.
The Irish Times visited the production plant on Dublin's Nangor Road and reported a 1974 start. It said the cream uses more than 250 million litres of fresh Irish milk a year, from about 40,000 cows. In 2014 the brand sold 6.4 million cases across 180 countries.
Diageo owns it. Nothing in those pages puts the dairy or the plant in Canada. Ontario shoppers still see it: the LCBO's early-2026 quarterly update lists this cream among the top spirits by net sales.

Our Canadian score
Imported
Baileys Irish Cream is an import. The plant cited by the Irish Times is on Nangor Road in Dublin, and the milk is Irish. Diageo owns the brand. Canadians buy a lot of it. The LCBO still lists it among top spirits. That does not make the bottle Canadian.
