The Ennis Whiskey Club have organised a series of Irish Brand Ambassador tastings around Ennis again for 2024. Our April event was the Shortcross and Irish Whiskey Bonding Co. range from Rademon Estate Distillery presented by Emmet Murphy.
Rademon Estate Distillery have 2 core-range whiskey brands in their portfolio. The Shortcross range is for whiskey exclusively distilled at their small commercial distillery in Co. Down, while their Irish Whiskey Bonding Co [IWBC] range also includes sourced whiskeys from other distilleries in Ireland.
Shortcross has a well established gin on the market. They also have an Irish Poitín, which Emmet brought to kick off our tasting. This was followed by their IWBC Grafter blend, the Shortcross Distillers Duo blend, the Shortcross Rye & Malt, the IWBC Chancer blend and we finished with the Shortcross 7yo Single Malt.
Many thanks to David and Fiona Boyd-Armstrong, Emmet and the rest of the Rademon Estate distillery team for an insightful and very enjoyable tasting. Sláinte!
