Shortcross Peated 5 Years Whiskey

Shortcross Peated 5 Years Whiskey is a standout expression from the Rademon Estate Distillery, showcasing the emerging sophistication of Irish whiskey. Unlike many Irish malts, this spirit is distilled from peated malted barley, offering a distinctive layer of complexity often associated with Scotch whisky, but rendered with a uniquely Irish touch. Aged for five years, this whiskey achieves an impressive balance. On the nose, you are greeted with notes of gentle bonfire smoke and coastal brine, which transition smoothly into a palate rich with deep flavors of chocolate, malt, and a lingering sweetness reminiscent of sticky toffee pudding. It concludes with a moreish, long finish. Bottled at 46% ABV, it is a delicious and highly approachable peated dram, perfect for those seeking a flavorful, gentle smoke profile.
