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 lightbulb moment... and Shanky's Whip was born. A blend of BLACK IRISH WHISKEY, Irish spirits and the delicious natural flavour of cream and vanilla.
Vibrant green in colour, the nose is fresh with lime juice cordial, white peach and hints of subtle creamy French oak. The palate is crisp and fresh, lime and honey dew melon linger, intertwined with well integrated oak and defined acidity that gives structure and length.
The palate is full and generous, sweet tropical fruits combine with characteristic pinot gris texture creating mouth filling length. Pinot gris is delicious sipped solo or enjoyed with seared or grilled fish and simple oven-roasted chicken.
Bright, pure, well-etched fruit defines this delicious wine. Bursts of lemon and lime, peach and ripe apple are almost jammy, punctuated by high acidity, which heightens the spicy palate. A dollop of sweetness completes the package.
