History
In the early 2010s, the Irish Dairy Board approached the design agency Dynamo to develop and promote a cream liquor using their products.[1] The product was intended to capitalize on Kerrygold's brand as a dairy producer and to compete with the popular Bailey's Irish Cream.[2] The lifting of milk export quotas in Ireland also gave the company strong incentive to expand the international market for its dairy products.[3]
