B003 came in swinging — bold fruitcake, dried figs, ginger spice and a bit of heat on the tongue from the smaller, punchier cask. B039 brought similar dried-fruit character but with a softer, sweeter sherry finish that leaned a little too polite on its own. Blending the fiery B003 with the smooth, shy B039 levels the playing field, amplifying the shared dried-fruit notes while adding depth, refinement, and balance. The result: a character- forward yet wonderfully smooth whiskey bottled at 45% ABV. Here’s to a promise kept. TASTING NOTES The Nose: This is perhaps the most important part of assessing a whiskey. Perceived aromas result from the production and ageing processes of whiskey. Tasting is simply to confirm what your nose has already told you. Oak, dried fruits, malt richness. Palate and Finish: Start with a clean palate to truly appreciate the whiskey, focussing on the texture followed by subsequent tastings to analyse flavours & scents. Malt and rye warmth, tobacco depth, and a lingering cigar-box finish. Very limited batch with only limited retail bottles released. Barrel #003 & #039 | ABV: 45% | 500ml Bottle Release Date: 19th November 2025

This single malt has spent 3 years and 7 months resting in a second-fill, medium-char American oak barrel, allowing the spirit to mature while retaining its core character. The result is a beautifully balanced whiskey, where light toasted oak and cigar box aromas meet warming cinnamon and coffee, shaped further by Queensland’s climate and a substantial 47% loss to wood. Bottled at 45% ABV, it delivers rich notes of dark roasted coffee and chocolate with a gentle nuttiness, making it an ideal sipping whiskey.

At the time of writing, this is our oldest whiskey we’ve ever released, aged for four years and two months in a 100L Virgin American Oak Barrel. Over the years, this batch lost over 60% of its original volume to the angels, resulting in an whiskey that has concentrated into a dense, flavoursome caramel sip. Transport yourself to the 1920’s, and imagine sitting back in a leather chair, in room with well-dressed bourgeois and surrounded by a thin veil of cigar smoke.

Introducing Barrel B033, a 100L French Oak barrel that's delivered something truly special.

Aged for 2 years and 9 months in a 100L French Oak ex-red table wine barrel, losing over 82% of it’s original volume due to a large leak, and general evaporation and wood soak over the years. The intense flavour profile of the wine barrel—combined with the QLD tropical maturation climate—delivers a rich and characterful spirit, perfectly balanced between barrel influence and our bold base whiskey.  Nose: Sweet fruit cake, dried peaches, hints of oak. Palate: Cigar box, tobacco, dried fruit.  

At the time of writing, this barrel is our oldest whiskey ever. Initially aged for 4 years in a virgin American oak barrel, the whiskey was then finished for 2 years in a 100L ex-Oloroso sherry wine barrel. Over the years, this bourbon-style batch lost over 60% of its original volume to the angels, resulting in a whiskey that has a concentrated and intense flavour. Ideal for a straight tipple, or over a large rock of ice. Here’s to a promise kept. TASTING NOTES Nose: This is perhaps the most important part of assessing a whiskey.

Style: Liqueur |  ABV: 25%  |  Size: 500 ml  |  Standard Drinks: 9.9Limited Release: Cherry Bomb is what happens when you stop holding back.  This is a full-throttle flavour drop inspired by a classic Aussie combo — chocolate and cherry — taken all the way. No nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake. Just indulgence, earned. Dark chocolate. Sweet cherry. Coconut richness. Built on grain normally reserved for whiskey production, because some flavours deserve more than shortcuts. Cherry Bomb isn’t subtle. It’s smooth, rich and unapologetically indulgent. Take shelter.Flavour incoming. THE STORY: We rescued 25kg of perfectly imperfect cherries through Farmers Pick and layered them into a rich, chocolate-forward liqueur built for depth, texture and impact. Dark chocolate malt delivers that deep, malty cocoa character. Coconut oil brings body and weight. Everything is finished with a house-made reduction of vanilla, coconut and cherry to pull it together. The result is dangerously easy to drink, unapologetically indulgent and designed to linger. This isn’t destruction. It’s commitment.

Style: Vodka |  ABV: 40%  |  Size: 500 ml  |  Standard Drinks: 16.6Limited Release: For Bob's one year anniversary, he's created a chilli jam vodka.   The Lewis Special is what happens when a jar of homemade chilli jam gets passed around between friends, and one of them just so happens to work at a distillery. This is a fruit-forward vodka built around sweet heat, bright citrus and tropical softness. It warms gently rather than burns — welcoming both spice lovers and the spice-curious alike. Just as comfortable poured simply with soda and lime as it is shaken into refreshing citrus cocktails. THE STORY: A couple of years back, a close friend of Newcastle bartender Bob Lewis made a batch of chilli jam and gave little jars to all her friends for Christmas. Using chillies from their Granddad's garden and their own backyard harvest, they made the most incredible jam. Toasties, spaghetti, even cheesecake — Bob tried that jam on everything. When the time came to think about what spirit he'd like to make for his one-year anniversary at Granddad Jack's, he kept coming back to that jar. Not just because it tasted amazing, but because of what it represented — sharing something made with care between friends. The friend who made that jam just so happens to share the same last name as Bob. So, in honour of her — this is The Lewis Special. From inspiration to recipes to label design, this spirit wouldn't exist without the friends who pushed him, helped him and supported the idea along the way. This spirit is for them. — Robert "Bob" Lewis, Bartender · Granddad Jack's Newcastle TASTING NOTES Nose: Velvety strawberry rises first, wrapped in bright lime zest and a flicker of chilli warmth. Vanilla sits quietly underneath, smooth and composed. Palate: Zesty lemon and lime open the palate before a ginger-like bite and native pepperberry warmth build through the middle. Strawberry and vanilla soften the spice before mango and coconut add a round tropical sweetness. Finish: Lingering warmth that builds slowly rather than burns. Sweet meets spice, with both hanging around just long enough to invite the next sip.

This Granddad Jack’s limited-release liqueur is our twist on the traditional Italian Limoncello. Returning by popular demand and thanks to a good growing season, we introduce our fifth batch of Yuzucello. Shipping from Thursday the 31st of July 2025 Made with Yuzu, a unique citrus fruit, originally from China but now popular in Japanese cuisine. The Yuzu has a beautiful lemony, mandarin, and bergamot flavour. We were lucky to source ours locally from Buck's Farm, located in the heart of the Tweed Valley. Buck's Farm has been operated for over 40 years by Gerard ‘Buck’ Buchanan, a passionate farmer and all-around good bloke who was the first commercial grower in Australia. We hand-picked a couple of hundred Yuzus and, once back at the distillery, got peeling! The fresh peels sat for several days, macerating with our Penny Vodka. Then the infused spirit was sweetened with a hint of sugar and just the right amount of fresh Yuzu juice to bring out a brilliant tang. The resulting liqueur has a delicious combination of the tangy and sweet Yuzu goodness, making it perfect for a summer cocktail or as an aperitif or digestif after a night of good food and wine. When enjoying Yuzucello straight, serve chilled (but not over ice), with soda or a scoop of coconut ice cream to really savour the flavours.  ABV: 25% Size: 500ml Tasting Notes:Nose: Sweet and citrus, yuzu forward. Palate: A beautiful lemony, mandarin and bergamot flavour. Ingredients: Penny Vodka, Yuzu Peel And Fresh Juice, Sugar & Water. Production: At Granddad Jack's, we have always been incredibly passionate about supporting our local communities. We made this liqueur with our Penny Vodka & fresh Yuzu supplied by local producer Bucks Farm. Signature Cocktail Recipes: Try the Yuzu Sorbet Spritz and Calpi-Yuzu Fizz
