Does anyone know if bottles of alchohol are allowed on checked baggage from US to IRE

Hi, I'm coming back from the US in the next few weeks and wanted to bring home some bottles of vodka/bacardi as presents and in my checked luggage with United Airlines but am not sure if they are allowed?? Any advice appreciated, thanks

In checked, yes. There are limitations on customs though - http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/travel_and_recreation/travel_to_ireland/customs_regulations_for_travellers.html

Yeah, should not be an issue. I've brought booze and smokes in checked luggage no bother.
You can also buy bottles in duty free or on the airplane but they might not have the selection you like.
