A whiskey that was distilled, matured, and bottled at the family-owned Rademon Estate Distillery in County Down. Shortcross Rye & Malt Irish Whiskey, as you might have guessed, is made from 100% Irish malted rye and malted barley, which was double distilled before being aged in virgin Chinkapin oak as well as ex-bourbon barrels. It was then bottled non-chill filtered with all natural colour at 46% ABV. A stellar debut from husband and wife team David and Fiona Boyd-Armstrong.
Orange chocolate, coffee fudge, dried apricot, vanilla, and some toasted almonds in support with a sprinkling of sweet baking spice.
Heaps of homemade marmalade on brown bread, so vibrant and clear you can almost taste the little bits of orange peel. There’s also dark honey, aromatic ginger, and some green apple sharpness.
Soft and supple, with more creamy fudge and orangey goodness.

Fabulous whiskey, sweet and smooth and mellow, moreish. Makes a fantastic old fashioned with a sliver of orange peel.
Got to try this fabulous drop at the Whisky Show in the autumn, rich and nicely spiced its well rounded dram and perfect for sipping. I should add fair play to Shortcross as this is their own liquid and not sourced like the vast majority of new (& old) Irish Whiskey. Kudos!
