💚 Feeling a little green with envy?

Say hello to Emerald Isle, Aceo Spirits’ Irish wh***ey offering 🥃

Wh**ky for everyone. Even the weird and wonderful 🥃🍊

At The Old Bank Wh**ky Shop, we like to think there’s a bottle for every kind of wh**ky drinker.

Big and smoky? We’ve got you.
Rich and sherried? Absolutely.
Something a little more unusual? Now you’re speaking our language.

Take Safe Haven, Murray McDavid's Mystery Malt finished in Grapefruit Sour casks from their partners at Wild B**r Co. It’s an unconventional finish that brings a bright, smoky, citrusy twist to wh**ky, creating something seriously different from your everyday dram.

Because wh**ky doesn’t always have to fit neatly into a category.

Whether you know exactly what you’re looking for or you fancy trying something completely unexpected, come and have a browse.
