Distiller Notes
Black. Smooth. Irish. Shanky's Whip is a black Irish whiskey liqueur made from a combination of Irish pot still whiskey and Irish spirits blended with the natural flavors of vanilla, caramel, and cream. The resulting spirit is black and smooth with a rich, whippy flavor dominated by spicy Irish Whiskey notes.
First prepared by 13th century Italian monks as herbal medicines and elixirs, Liqueurs are distilled spirits that have been combined with flavoring agents. A range of herbs, spices, nuts, fruits and flowers can be used, and a sweetener such as sugar or corn syrup is often added. While typically rather sweet, some examples are herbaceous or tart and pair exceptionally well with desserts or act as a delightful addition to cocktails.
