Fiona and David
Commenting on Shortcross’s second whiskey release, Co-Founder and Head Distiller, David Boyd-Armstrong says:
“When my wife Fiona and I founded Rademon Estate Distillery back in 2014, distilling whiskey was the dream. Last year this was realized with the launch of Shortcross Single Malt Irish Whiskey and we’re so proud to launch another uniquely Shortcross whiskey with the release of Shortcross Rye & Malt Irish Whiskey.
“With Rye & Malt, we’re continuing to lay down whiskey that has a distinctive taste profile. We strive to create as much flavour as possible in each stage of our whiskey making process and using water from the historic well on our estate, this release combines a mash bill of 100% Irish malted rye and malted barley to create a whiskey with spicy and peppery notes.”
Shortcross Single Malt Irish Whiskey was the first new whiskey to be released from a Northern Ireland distillery in over 100 years, and 2022 will see further new releases from Rademon Estate Distillery.
Shortcross Rye & Malt Irish Whiskey is available now, priced at £65 / €80, online, at the Rademon Estate Distillery shop and independent Off Sales.
