- Description
- Rademon Estate's Shortcross blends 100% Irish malted rye and malted barley, double-distilled and aged in virgin Chinkapin oak and ex-bourbon barrels before non-chill filtration at 46% ABV. Rye adds spice and dry grain character while the split maturation between virgin and refill wood creates vanilla sweetness balanced against spicy oak tannins. The result is creamy yet lively, with orchard fruit and warm grain notes. A debut that showcases the Boyd-Armstrong family's commitment to quality Irish whiskey craftsmanship.
