The Shortcross Team

Everything we do is made possible by the dedication, teamwork and passion that goes into every single day at Shortcross.

While you may see our bottles lined up on a shelf or poured behind a bar, behind every bottle is a story — and ours is proudly family-run.

From the distillers carefully crafting each spirit to the team working behind the scenes, every bottle reflects the people, passion and hard work that bring Shortcross to life.

This is more than great spirits. It's the people who make them.

Another busy day at the distillery — and we wouldn’t have it any other way. 🥃

Most people picture distillery life as elegant pours and perfectly made cocktails. The reality? Early mornings, heavy lifting, long days, and a whole lot of hard work behind every bottle.

But honestly, that’s what makes it so rewarding.

Every bottle begins right here on our estate in Crossgar, crafted by a team that genuinely loves what they do. And now, you can come see it all for yourself — tours are officially available.

Come meet the team, experience the process firsthand, and tick something pretty special off the bucket list. Whether you fancy learning how it’s all made… or just skipping straight to the tasting part, we won’t judge 😂
