12th November 2026, Wynn's Hotel, Dublin 1
Dear Members,
The Irish Whiskey Society is delighted to welcome Shortcross (Rademon Estate Distillery) for our upcoming tasting.
As County Down’s first award-winning craft distillery in over a century, founders Fiona and David Boyd-Armstrong have been quietly leading a modern distillation revolution. From reviving heritage grains and reviving historic mash bills to experimenting with rare sherry woods and coastal peat, Shortcross represents the cutting edge of Northern Irish distilling.
From mashing with pure water drawn directly from the estate’s historic well to running inventive heritage grain bills and aging in rare European oak, this tasting traces their journey from clever marriages to brute-force cask strength.
Join us as we explore six exceptional pours that trace their journey from signature grain and malt marriages to high-proof, single-cask expressions—concluding with a pour that belongs uniquely to us.
We will progress through the night by style and proof, moving from signature balance to rich sherry cask strengths:
Shortcross Distiller’s Duo
Shortcross Rye & Malt
Shortcross Peated Single Malt
Shortcross 5yo Single Pot Still Cask Strength – Amontillado Finish
Shortcross 7yo Single Malt Cask Strength – Oloroso Cask
A very special and exciting expression (unreleased yet)!
Booking opens on Thursday 5th of November at 7.00pm. Join the waiting list to be notified as we might be able to get more spots for the event. It is necessary to register and complete payment via Stripe (within 15 minutes) to secure your booking.
