One of the men behind the drink, David Gluckman, says it took 30 seconds for him and his business partner, Hugh Reade Seymour-Davies, to think of the idea, and 45 minutes to make the combination of Irish cream, Jamison's whiskey, and Cadbury's Powdered Drinking Chocolate work via The Irish Times. After laboratory tinkering and the magic of copywriting, Bailey's has become the "perfect marriage of fresh, premium, quality Irish dairy cream, finest spirits, Irish whiskey, and a proprietary recipe of chocolate flavors.
Rich Irish cream is the backbone of Bailey's Irish Cream — 50 percent of it, in fact. With rakish curly hair greying at the temples, he and his Prince of Wales check suit were made for each other. Doing a joint presentation with Tom was always challenging since he rarely stuck to the script and invariably stole most of my lines. Despite our somewhat unorthodox double-act, Tom and I managed a persuasive pitch for the Baileys idea. To help things along I cited my Kerrygold experience.
Kerrygold was important to me and one of the keys to the development of Baileys. By that time the famed gold-wrapped butter had been celebrated as one of the European business successes of the s and my association with it, I hoped, would add a bit of weight to our argument.
I think it did. Our foreplay over, the Irish team responded enthusiastically. They handled our bottle respectfully and even savoured the Baileys product to which Mac had applied considerable finesse since our initial International Stores effort.
Lunch was pretty lavish, with several bottles of wine going down — and very good wine at that. We were in the wine trade after all. I suspect that the word went out to upgrade the vintages when they realised that we had delivered something that they really liked. A couple of bottles of Ducru Beaucaillou of a reputable year appeared and disappeared swiftly. No one in Dublin knew what to expect from us.
He had not been at our pitch nor was he invited to the lunch but, via some magical Irish osmosis hotline, he knew about Baileys and the details of our presentation.
We occupied adjacent troughs in the management washroom. And it was not without risk: they knew full-well that they would have to build a plant to make it, they would have to invest in bottling lines and they would have to spend some real money on marketing. They were not a huge company, and it would strain their resources. No matter how well an idea is received, it is a complex entity and changes are inevitably made. The Baileys team now had to make its own imprint.
In those days, in the early s, the word chocolate did not sit comfortably on the label of a premium liqueur brand. It also made the idea easier to copy. We were pretty happy with that decision. Nowadays things are different. As soon as they started making an imprint on this strange new idea they began to assume ownership. And once they owned it they would commit to it.
But they were respectful enough to keep us informed of changes. And ask for our help when they needed it. I got a call from David Dand in early July of It was about 9am and I was reading the sports page of the Guardian in the office. It will take forever to get it through. It needs a first name or at least an initial. I looked down at the paper and there was an article about a golf tournament. The Open was being played at Royal Lytham.
Yet as I thought about it after our conversation, a fantasy began to form in my mind. They had disliked each other for decades. Their father looked to bring them together as he reached his dotage. He had a huge estate and wanted to keep it in the family. They sat down one night to try to work things out.
He tried it and loved it. They made up and the rest is history. Well that was my personal story. It helped to bring the idea to life for me. I had never intended for it to be used in public as it was a pure fiction. It was pretty tame and utterly unbelievable, which goes to show that not all fantasies work in the real world.
I could imagine our drink being enjoyed there a long time ago. It gave a gentle nudge of support to our off-the-wall idea. That meant that the cream that would go into Baileys could be bought not on the open market but from our own company. Even the original Baileys plant was based on a second-hand homogeniser bought from Express. Baileys was suddenly no longer our creation — it was theirs — and piqued as we might have been at the time, in hindsight they were right.
If Baileys was to succeed, they had to feel that they owned it. One of the strange things about the success of the Baileys venture at that time was that nothing really sank in.
We got back to the question of solving new problems and looking for other business. And it was to be about seven years before Baileys really appeared on the radar and looked like a success. It lacked the savoir-faire of brands such as Cointreau with its sexy sophisticated ad campaign. We presented the Baileys idea in , it was launched in but it was another three years before it began to look like a winner.
It was almost long enough for people to forget whose idea it was. I managed to keep my cool. Given that plumbers earned a lot more than I did in those days, I took that as a compliment. People nowadays often ask me how much money we get per bottle sold.
