They're all the same 17% volume as Baileys too, except for Aldi's Ballycastle, which is 12%. It doesn't do it any harm though and it's got a really nice flavour to it.

Baileys is creamy and derives its taste from cream, cocoa, and Irish Whiskey. Kahlua is dark without the creaminess of Baileys and is made with 100 percent arabica coffee, rum, and sugar.

When stored in the right conditions, an opened bottle can last for up to two years. The key to preserving Baileys quality after opening lies in storing it correctly. To maximize its time, store the opened bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat.

Fans of Baileys should look for Amarula's wild fruit and vanilla flavours in the first instance, to convince themselves that a choice does, in fact, exist. From there, coffee lovers should head to Sheridan's unique two-liquid pouring bottle which replicated an Irish coffee.

Molly's is the cheaper alternative to Bailey's. But after having it I believe it is cheaper because it isn't a well known brand as Bailey's, but tastes just as good. You will find it in all expense paid resorts as the cream liquor of choice.
