Shanky's Whip is a unique type of liqueur that combines the rich flavours of Irish whiskey with the creamy (though no actual cream) sweetness of vanilla and blackcurrant. This blend results in a distinctive and smooth taste experience. The whiskey provides a warm, complex base, while the vanilla adds sweetness and the blackcurrant introduces a tart fruitiness, creating a well-rounded and enjoyable drink. Shanky's Whip can be enjoyed on its own, over ice, or as a versatile ingredient in a variety of cocktails like an Espresso Martini or an Irish Coffee, adding a creamy, fruity twist to traditional recipes. It's a modern take on flavoured liqueurs, appealing to those who appreciate Irish whiskey but with a novel twist. Plus, the chap on the label is being pulled along by an ostrich. What's not to like?!
The initial taste is creamy vanilla and toffee followed by the richness of the high quality Irish whiskey, offering hints of oak, milk chocolate, malt, and a baking spices, with blackcurrants providing a tangy, refreshing edge.

Beautiful flavour, great with coffee or ice cream!
Bought this after a cruise ship tasting and I love whisky - this is a sipworthy drink that my whisky/rum drinking friends have fallen in love with. At 33% ABV it’s stronger than your average liqueur hence the attraction. I’m looking to adapt it with other things like mixers & ice-cream.
Very syrupy and sweet. It's alright in coffee. But, sadly, not for me this one.
On our second bottle - we love Shanky's and family/friends that we have given tasters now also love it.
Love Shanky’s and I don’t like most whiskey. I served it as a dessert ..2 parts Sgankys to 1 part root beer and then added a big scoop of ice cream! Total hit. It’s good with cola, ginger ale or just sipping.
