After one attempt at making my own I decided it's cheaper and easier to just buy the ready made stuff. Alternatively add cream, whiskey, optional flavouring and a lot of sugar to coffee. Easy, quick, cheap, versatile, and you can readjust the ratios to your taste every time. No need to mess around with sterilising bottles or using up half a bottle of whiskey each time either.
But if you consume it right away, you're good. I posted the recipe, it's cheaper to make it than buy in Indian I guess, I don't buy liquor so dunno how expensive what even is.
Still worth making, use a good recipe. Condensed milk, cream, but of chocolate, instant coffee, various extracts. Works well.
I can happily drink half a bottle of whiskey, it's the entire can of condensed milk I struggle with.
Cheap Irish cream is ~£7/700ml. Cheap whiskey is £7 for enough to make 700ml of Irish cream.
If you break it down the major taste elements are sugar, whiskey and coffee/chocolate combined with a cream texture. It's easy to put those together and tailor them to taste without the need for condensed milk and the corresponding need to make up a whole bottle.
It's worth making it for the experience, on the other hand for me the experience taught me it's not worth making it. It's like making up a whole bottle of one specific cocktail.
It is amazing if you have friends over, also it costs more here than in the UK I guess but a fun experience regardless.

I found this too -- I don't normally put cream in my coffee anyways, so a bit of Jameson's seems like a strictly superior experience.
