The Portuguese sell genuine Scotch whiskey for a third of the price

So you can forget the fake Baileys

a baby guiness is a shot of tia maria with a "head" of baileys. Tastes like choclate and goes down real easy...way too easy actually. They set u back about a fiver in Ireland (In new fangled yo-yo currency), you can drink about 6 before u feel any effects and the next morning ur tongue is coated in an unpleasant creamy substance...while the publican is chuckling behind his money pile.
a butterball on the other hand (baileys with a drop of toffee liquor) is delightful!

...but Im rather partial to the taste of toffee..toffee liqueur? Thats a new one on me...but then ..I dont have much experience in the drinks department........thank-you
