Shortcross Gin is made by Northern Irish craft gin distillery, Rademon Estate. This small batch gin is made using their custom made still, which features a 450 litre copper pot still and two enrichment columns. Using intriguing botanicals like fresh apple, elderberry and wild clover, as well as juniper, coriander, orange peel, lemon peel and cassia, they produce a vibrant, floral style of gin that befits savouring it neat, as well as enjoying with tonic.
Why not try a Shortcross Elderflower Collins?

I bought this at Fortnum & Mason's who are currently promoting northern Ireland produce. It's the best gin I've ever tasted and it will be hard to go back to anything else. I love the fact that it is Irish and small batch.
This was an impulse purchase at the Belfast International duty free and I'm so pleased we did. It is amazing! By far the best gin we've had. It won't be the last time we buy this gin!!
Tasted this in the Merchant Hotel in Belfast this weekend with a twist of orange peel and it is delicious. Well worth a tipple!
Had my first taste of this in Castle Leslie, Co. Monaghan, a few weeks ago. It was served with apple sticks, a chunk of orange and Fever Tree tonic (possibly the Mediterranean). So delicious!!
Such a great Irish gin. A new favourite.
