In Ireland, it’s not uncommon for whiskey to be drunk with a Guinness (literally a shot of whiskey dropped into a pint – I suspect Irish men are tougher than men elsewhere) and Shank‎y’s recreates this soft creamy rich flavour.

It’s a little known, yet depressing fact, that more people watched last year’s F1 final in Dubai, than tuned in to the annual Chandler Ostrich Race in Arizona (known by insiders as the Fastest Fowl Fixture). The data collected including the number visitors, the source where they have come from, and the pages visted in an anonymous form. It’s based on a combination of Irish spirits and aged pot still whiskey, blended with the natural flavour of vanilla and then it’s infused caramel. So, Shanky was a somewhat mythical character, an amazingly talented jockey by all accounts, but also an Irish bad boy. Blended and bottled in County Cavan, Ireland, it layers pot still and grain Irish whiskey with spirit distilled from whey, bringing together rich toffee spice and vanilla flavours.Shanky’s Whip is sold in a vintage-inspired Irish matchbox glass bottle featuring the brand’s story. All I can say for certain is that you’ll love the bottle that regales this fabulous tale, as much as the black juice inside it. Your palate should be properly whetted by now and with good reason, as this stuff is seriously gooooood.

The resulting spirit is midnight black, with a sweet smoothness underpinned with spicy Irish Whiskey notes. So, whether you’re looking for the perfect whiskey related gift, or a cheeky bottle for yourself, Shanky’s hits the spot. Well, what nonsense (I hear you say) you mean to tell me that ostriches are indigenous to Ireland and found in such abundance that a jockey can stroll off a race course and leap onto the nearest one? It’s not often two of your great passions overlap, and this week I’ve been fortunate for that to have happened. As the stars have aligned I’ve found myself launching a brand that ignites my passion for all things whiskey, and one that allows me to indulge my interest in my other great passion, Ostrich racing.This cookie is used to set a unique ID to the visitors, which allow third party advertisers to target the visitors with relevant advertisement up to 1 year.
