So, did I really need to buy Shanky’s Whip Golden Ostrich Liqueur? Probably not. But here we are. The fun twist? It’s the same delicious Irish Whiskey Liqueur you know—just in a bold, golden ostrich bottle.
I’ve reviewed this liqueur before (check it here and on my blog—link in bio), but here’s the truth: even though it’s the same liquid, this time it tasted better. No idea why, but I’m not complaining. Maybe it’s the mood, maybe it’s the bottle—but let’s dive back into the tasting notes—because good things deserve a second look.
Nose: vanilla, caramel and coffee
Palate: sweet with notes of vanilla and caramel
Finish: sweet vanilla
ABV: 33%
Cost: $39.99 (what we paid)
At $40, this liqueur is worth it. It’s playful, versatile, and delicious—ideal as a thoughtful gift or a treat for yourself. Enjoy it neat as an aperitif, mix it into creative cocktails, add a splash to your morning coffee—hey, it’s the holidays, no judgment here! Serve it over ice for a smooth finish or elevate a cozy hot chocolate. This is a bottle that works hard for its price. Do you need it if you already have the original? Nope. But will it make your bar look award-winning? 100%
Cheers!
