THIS SUMMER, why not try a delicious cocktail made from Shortcross Gin?
The Co Down distillery Rademon Estate recently won a trio of awards for Shortcross Gin at The Gin Masters 2016.
Founded in 2012 by husband and wife team Fiona and David Boyd-Armstrong, Rademon Estate Distillery is located at the couple’s historic family estate just outside Downpatrick.
The first batch of Shortcross was released in 2014.
Earlier this year the distillery also released Cask Aged Shortcross Gin and Shortcross Gin Wild Clover Edition.
