ALDI fans are racing to get their hands on a brand new Ballycastle liqueur – and it’s already causing a stir.
The limited-edition Honeycomb Cream flavour has landed in stores across the UK, and it’s being snapped up fast.
At just £6.99 for a 700ml bottle, it offers a massive saving compared to , which can sell for as much as £17 elsewhere.
The creamy tipple is produced in Northern Ireland and boasts a blend of double cream, , and sweet honeycomb flavourings.
With an alcohol content of 12%, it’s designed to be enjoyed over ice or added to indulgent cocktails.
But while the price and packaging have tempted shoppers, the taste has sparked debate online.
One Facebook user didn’t hold back, writing: “Horrible it is!”;
In contrast, another replied: “It’s gorgeous,”; and a third added: “Yummy.”;
The product was first spotted online before its store release, with one eagle-eyed shopper posting to a group: “Is anyone excited about this? I am – looks delicious.”;
Many others agreed, tagging friends and planning their next Aldi trip.
Ballycastle has become a go-to for fans of flavoured liqueurs, with Aldi regularly dropping seasonal or limited-edition spins on the classic Irish cream-style drink.
Last month, just ahead of St Patrick’s Day, Aldi introduced the Country Cream.
Priced at £7.99, it was described as having “prominent malt notes balanced by the subtle sweetness of cream.”;
The launch included cocktail recipes and even a dessert idea, proving how versatile the drink can be.
In October 2024, Aldi launched the Ballycastle S’mores Country Cream, which mixed chocolate, biscuit, vanilla and marshmallow flavours.
That edition was also a hit, with shoppers rushing to try the nostalgic combination.
With each new flavour, Aldi shoppers seem split, but the buzz never fades.
