Baileys, the delightful Irish liqueur, may have an extra zest this Christmas because the cows that provide the cream have been listening to carols.
Dairy farmer Joe Hayden, who supplies cream for Baileys, has been playing carols to his herd this Christmas as part of a sustainability drive to reduce his carbon footprint.
At other times of the year, Hayden soothes his herd of 180 “Baileys Ladies” with Bruce Springsteen, Coldplay, and the Killers on his farm in the Wicklow foothills near Tinahely.
