Founded in 2012 by husband and wife team Fiona & David Boyd-Armstrong, Rademon Estate Distillery is Northern Ireland’s first craft distillery.

The distillery launched its first spirit Shortcross Gin in 2014 and it is recognised as the most awarded gin produced on the island of Ireland. The distillery produces a full range of gins from its sugar-free pink Rosie’s Garden Gin to its Cask Aged Shortcross Gin.

Irish Whiskey production began in summer 2015 with the first casks of Singe Malt Irish whiskey being laid down in August 2015. In early 2016 the distillery laid down its first casks of Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey, the first time that peated whiskey had been distilled in Northern Ireland in over a generation. The distillery has continued to explore various mash bills including the development of it Single Pot Still Irish whiskey in 2017.

The distillery’s Inaugural Release of Shortcross Single Malt Irish Whiskey won Best New Irish Whiskey at the 2021 Irish Whiskey Awards, this was the first new Irish Whiskey to be released from a new distillery in Northern Ireland since the 1920’s.

The distillery launched its Shortcross Rye & Malt Irish Whiskey in spring 2022. This innovative Irish whiskey is created from a mash bill of 100% Irish malted rye and malted barley, is double distilled and then aged in a unique combination of virgin chinquapin oak and ex-bourbon barrels.

The distillery runs a full programme of tours and events at fully licensed Visitor Centre, to find out more go to https://rademonestatedistillery.com/tours-events/
