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.

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.

Creating Shortcross Gin has been a true love affair for both of us, we wanted to rekindle a distilling tradition that spans back centuries in Ireland, it has taken time to build and create our distillery, time to travel the world and craft our skills, so when we distil we do so slowly, we hand bottle, wax dip and sign each bottle.  The process may be slow but it’s a true craft.  Each Shortcross bottle is as unique as its new owners.  We hope you enjoy Shortcross as much as we love creating it.  Fiona & David.
