"A blend of Black Irish Whiskey, Irish spirits" and natural flavours suggestive of cream and vanilla (does not contain cream).

Designed to be enjoyed on its own or mixed in a cocktail or long with cola.

The colourful label depicts Shanky, a fantastical Irish jockey who, thrown from his horse, has returned to the track riding a chariot, whip in hand, pulled by an ostrich in place of his mount.
