INTRODUCING OUR JUNE RELEASE, APRICOT BRANDY! We took local Verdelho wine grapes from Witches Falls Winery and gave them the good ol’ foot stomp! The grapes were pressed, fermented into wine, and distilled into, what we now called, Foot Stomp Brandy. Then, after two years ageing in a 20L American Oak barrel from our very first bourbon run, we soaked the brandy with dried apricots and blended it with our house-made apricot nectar. The result? A rich, juicy Apricot Brandy Liqueur with sweet dried fruit on the nose, soft oak through the palate, and a smooth, lingering finish. But what even is brandy? It’s wine’s stronger, sexier cousin, distilled from fermented fruit and aged to perfection. Think warm hugs, soft spice, and fruity richness in every sip. We just made it better (and hazier) with a hit of apricot liqueur magic. This one’s for sipping over ice, with lemonade or straight from the bottle (we don’t judge, that’s the way Nicky drinks it). We hope you love this release as much as we loved making it. ABV: 25% Tasting Notes:Nose: Sweet dried fruits.... obviously apricots. Palate: Apricots, followed by slight hints of oak and a brandy base. Ingredients: Brandy, Dried Apricots, Sugar & Water. Signature Cocktail Recipes: Try the Golden Hour Punch or The 1914, our take on a Charlie Chaplain. 

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.  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% 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

Hazy Coconut Gin is the result of our passion for creating unforgettable experiences and making all our customers especially our biggest supporters feel like they’re at home. This Limited release was created by macerating juniper, coconut oil, coconut flakes, and lime peel in the still for 24 hours, creating a smooth, zesty base with a vibrant citrus boost. During distillation, we supercharged the gin basket with toasted coconut, adding a sweet nose and light caramelisation. To finish, we incorporated a reduction of coconut water, amplifying the coconut flavour and creating its signature hazy appearance. The result? A velvety, extra-smooth gin with creamy coconut, a touch of lime zest, and a dry hint of juniper. Perfect for all coconut loving cocktails or as an easy serve with Pineapple Juice, this unconventional gin delivers tropical vibes in every sip. So how did Hazy Coconut Gin come about? It’s actually the brainchild of one of our biggest fans! Mr Matt. A supporter from day one and an active part of our community on multiple fronts.  Luke was told one day that Matt’s big 40th Birthday was coming up and what a better way to show him some love than to create his dream gin. One special bottle was made, loved and never forgotten.  A couple of years later, after non-stop campaigning and endless persistence this regular face of the distillery somehow convinced Luke that this flavour needed to be brought back to life and here we are…Granddad Jack’s making dreams come true one bottle at a time.  We hope you enjoy this release as much as we have loved making it.  ABV: 40% Tasting Notes: Nose: Sweet toasted coconut aroma with a hint of zesty lime.Palate: Heavy sweet and toasted coconut notes with a hint of lingering zesty lime and cut through with dry juniper.
