Shanky's Whip

Black Irish Whiskey Liqueur

Shanky's Whip is a black Irish whiskey liqueur blended with flavors of vanilla, toffee, and chocolate. Named after the legendary Irish character Shanky — a mischievous spirit who roamed the countryside — this dark, velvety liqueur challenges what you expect from Irish whiskey. Pour it straight over ice, blend it into a bold cocktail, or drop a shot into your stout.

Flavor notes: Vanilla, Toffee, Dark Chocolate, Caramel
