"Ireland's Most Awarded Gin, Shortcross Gin, is classical juniper-forward style with a unique twist; uplifting floral notes, smooth and sweet flavours and an exceptionally long finish Inspired by the lush forests and gardens surrounding the distillery on Rademon Estate in Northern Ireland, Shortcross is created using wild clover, fresh apples, elderflowers and elderberries foraged on the grounds. These foraged botanicals are distilled with classic gin botanicals in a 450-litre bespoke copper pot still before being hand-bottled and labelled on site. For a delicious and refreshing G&T pair Shortcross Gin with elderflower tonic water and garnish with a twist of orange peel and a sprig of mint."

Serve
Key botanicals include sweet floral elderflower, plump elderberries, wild clover and crisp apples all of which foraged from the surrounding gardens. We recommend with elderflower tonic water and an orange peel garnish.
Process
Shortcross is made on glorious 450L copper pot stills, with two seven plate side columns. Botanicals are steeped and distilled with the spirit passing through the columns. The result is an immensely smooth gin made to a London Dry standard.
People
Shortcross was founded by Fiona and David Boyd-Armstrong, a husband and wife team who set out to create a gin with a vision of re-defining what an Irish gin should and could be.
Place
Founded in 2012, Rademon Estate Distillery is nestled within the heart of the historic 500-acre estate in Co. Down, just outside of Belfast. Sortcross was the first craft gin in this new era to be distilled in Northern Ireland.
