"At Rademon Estate Distillery we are proud to be Northern Ireland's First Award Winning Craft Distillery.

Our small batch philosophy ensures that every aspect of our gin meets our exacting vision. Everything is crafted and perfected by hand.

Shortcross Gin was created to be a classical Gin with a unique twist; best described as floral meadows, wild berries and grassy notes. It is highly aromatic with an exceptionally long and smooth finish.

Our Still was custom made to our bespoke specification by the oldest family of German Still makers, so we like to think of her as something very beautiful and special. We aim to do things a little differently, so we have combined the best of old & new technology; with a 450L Copper Pot Still & two Enrichment Columns. Our Enrichment Columns are truly special, with each housing seven individual bubble plates enabling us to set just the right level of reflux when we distil which helps to create a smooth and aromatic spirit.

We aspired to create something unique that was reminiscent of our surrounding forests and gardens at Rademon Estate. Dense, lush, verdant and alive with nature, it's a playground of botanicals, from which we draw our inspiration for Shortcross Gin. We forage wild clover giving a delicate essence of wild meadows. Elderflowers & elderberries combine to create both uplifting floral notes and smooth sweet flavours, while our local green apples contribute fresh aromas and lively sweet notes. Our final recipe remains close to our heart but we include Juniper, Coriander, Orange and Cassia to which we blend with our very own pure fresh water drawn from our historic estate well."
