Shortcross Gin wins deal down under!!
“Shortcross Gin, Northern Ireland’s original and multi-award winning craft gin has won its first business in Australia.”
Shortcross Gin is a family owned company, based in Crossgar. They already sell their small batch gin to 30 global markets. The multi-award winning spirit will now be supplied to a major distributor in Sydney for businesses throughout the country.
The Distillery is set at the picturesque and historic Rademon Estate and is ran by David & Fiona Boyd Armstrong. David explains the deal followed a business trip to Australia.
“We had been exploring opportunities and identifying business contacts in Australia for some time before making our first trip over. It’s such a huge and dynamic market with tremendous potential for our premium gin.”
“We found encouraging interest in our quality and distinctive taste! We were delighted to line up a distributor we believe will be a good fit for us. It’s a young and vibrant market. They are keen to experience new and unique spirits with provenance, outstanding taste and heritage.”
The Gin…
The unique product features botanicals harvested from the estate, such as apples, elderflower and elderberries. The distillery also uses water from a well on the estate. This gives the company complete control over the ingredients and production.
Shortcross Gin has just introduced two new limited edition expressions. The first new edition is matured in Bordeaux casks in collaboration with JN Wine, a leading wholesale and retail wine business. The second is its Bartenders Series Edition 1, a unique gin developed by one of Dublin’s top cocktail creators.
In addition to its current product, the distillery, which also has a popular visitor centre, is soon to launch an Irish whiskey that’s made from scratch on the estate.
Success…
Shortcross Gin have won a string of international awards.The quality of the company’s gin was also recognised, earlier in the year. It was awarded two golds in the Gin Masters – part of the annual Spirits Business Awards – the most prestigious UK award for distilleries.
