Ballycastle Stout Flavour Country Cream will set Britons back £7.99

Aldi is launching a new Ballycastle Stout Flavour Country Cream just in time for St. Patrick's Day celebrations.

The "limited-edition" cream liqueur will be available in stores from March 6, giving shoppers plenty of time to snap up the beverage before the big day on March 17.


The Irish-inspired alcoholic beverage boasts a "luxuriously smooth, creamy texture".

It features prominent malt notes that are balanced with the "subtle sweetness" of Irish cream.

The flavour profile delivers the familiar taste of Irish stout but with a "decadent" twist.

Priced at £7.99 for a 70cl bottle, the new addition to Aldi's Ballycastle range offers shoppers an affordable way to celebrate the Irish holiday.

Indeed, the supermarket called it "the perfect way to paint the town green without breaking the bank".
