Shanky was always one to buck the trend - he liked the idea of Irish Whiskey - but he did not like the burn - he liked the taste of cream - but he did not like the texture… and he loved stout - which is of course, black! So he had a light-bulb moment… and Shanky’s was born. A blend of BLACK IRISH WHISKEY, Irish spirits and the delicious natural flavor of cream and vanilla. Combined - these make for a delicious drink on its own or mixed in a cocktail or with cola.
