In Ireland, it’s not uncommon for an Irish whiskey shot to be dropped into a pint of Guinness. To recreate this incomparable flavour experience, black Irish whiskey (aged in charred barrels) is blended with natural flavours and caramel.

The resulting whiskey liqueur is midnight black, with a sweet smoothness underpinned with spicy Irish-whiskey notes and beautifully presented in a bespoke embossed glass bottle. Try it neat in a tumbler over ice, or mixed with cola.
