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 Shankys 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.
