The Art of Peated Palo Cortado Cask Maturation

At Rademon Estate Distillery, time is one of our most important ingredients.

This distinctive Peated Single Malt begins its journey with seven years of maturation in a 36-month air-seasoned Virgin American Oak cask, developing the signature orchard fruit character of Shortcross Irish Whiskey alongside the depth of peated malt.

A finishing period in a carefully selected Palo Cortado Quarter Cask introduces further complexity, enhancing the whiskey with decadent notes of dark chocolate and rich dried red fruits.

The combination of sweet smoke, savoury character and sherry cask richness creates a distinctive expression that showcases the remarkable influence of carefully selected oak.

Created in collaboration with the Harbourview Hotel in Carnlough, this exclusive single-cask release celebrates a shared passion for exceptional Irish whiskey and innovative cask maturation.

Seven years of maturation. One distinctive quarter-cask finish. Just 100 bottles.
