'Spirits' (AKA 'hard liquor') is the term for all distilled alcohol - in fact, the name 'spirit' came from alchemists who believed the vapor of distillation was a 'spirit' of the original material. Technically 'spirits' and 'liqueurs' are different - spirits have no added sugar, while liqueurs do - but they tend to be lumped together. Virtually all known spirits were used as health tonics or elixirs at some point in history, but transmuted into good fun drinks over time. Many countries have their 'national' drink - gin, whisky, schnapps, grappa, ouzo, soju, vodka, rakia/rakija...there's quite a list. Experiments began with sugars and flavours - resulting in limoncello, cynar, Benedictine...that's an even longer list.

Carefully matured for over 10 years in warehouses, perched on the intense environs of the Ayrshire coast, of Scotland.
Sea Cask is so-called because some of our warehouses are situated right by the sea. This impacts the maturation process and delivers a smooth whisky with a hint of sea salt.

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

Aromas of fruit, baked fully-ripened agave, green olive, and earth are invitingly present. Slightly brighter and a touch more rustic than the regular blanco, the accents of butter, olive, earth, black pepper, and vegetal qualities in the flavor are enhanced because it comes straight from our small copper pot still, without adding water prior to bottling.
