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?

The sweetness might put the more old-school whiskey drinkers off, but as a liqueur, it really held its own and was super tasty. While your average whiskey liqueur packs a powerful punch, Shanky wasn’t a fan of the burn, nor the texture of cream (like alternatives such as Bailey’s or Irish cream liqueurs), but he did like stout, so therein was born Shanky’s Whip – a wonderful combination of black Irish whiskey, vanilla and cream. The resulting spirit is midnight black, with a sweet smoothness underpinned with spicy Irish Whiskey notes.

He daydreams of travelling around the world, but for now, the world will have to come to him by way of lifestyle products, gear, gadgetry, and entertainment.

Whether you’re just out to enjoy a Shanky’s Whip with Cola (the brilliantly named ‘The Long and Short of it’), it also wouldn’t be out of place in an ‘Irish’ Old Fashioned or alongside some Frangelico in a ‘Nutter’ shot. 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). History is littered with pioneers who forged their own path, breaking convention in the hope to reach newfound glory.
