Shortcross New Cask Aged Gin
From: Shortcross Gin
New Cask Aged Shortcross Gin is a distinctive expression from Shortcross, the award-winning gin brand produced at Rademon Estate Distillery in County Down, Northern Ireland.
Aged for more than two and a half years in orange and Cognac liqueur casks, this release brings together the classic character of juniper with rich, warming notes developed during its extended time in cask.
The maturation process gives the gin a distinctive profile, offering a different perspective on traditional gin and making it particularly suited to sipping neat or using in spirit-forward cocktails.
At 42% ABV, this limited cask-aged expression showcases Shortcross’s willingness to explore new approaches to gin production while retaining the botanical character at the heart of the spirit.
The casks contribute rich Cognac character and a warming depth, complementing the gin’s juniper-led profile. This approach bridges the worlds of gin and aged spirits, creating an expression intended to be enjoyed both neat and in carefully chosen cocktails.
New Cask Aged Shortcross Gin demonstrates how cask maturation can introduce new dimensions to gin, bringing rich Cognac character and warming complexity to a spirit traditionally associated with fresh botanicals and juniper. Produced at Rademon Estate Distillery, it offers an alternative for gin enthusiasts interested in the relationship between botanical distillation and barrel-aged spirits.
