April 2025 Release: PINK ON PINK GIN Gin | 37.5% ABV | 16 Standard Drinks Some bottles are built to be discovered. This one was built to be celebrated. Once a year, we put down the usual and make something just for the women in our lives. Not a dedication in the footnotes — a full bottle, from scratch, in their honour. The Pink on Pink is our annual love letter: soft, floral, a little tart, and dressed in the kind of pink that doesn't apologise for itself. The botanicals came together the way the best ideas do — instinct and a bit of indulgence. Pink Lady Apple for sweetness with backbone. Watermelon and Strawberry for the kind of freshness that hits on a warm afternoon. Rhubarb to keep it honest. Pomegranate for depth. Pink Grapefruit for the citrus lift that ties it all together. And through it all, plenty of Juniper, because this is still a gin worth respecting. It's one release, once a year. When it's gone, it's gone. This one's for them. Cheers to you. TASTING NOTES Nose: Soft and floral from the first breath. Ripe strawberry and watermelon drift in, followed by a fresh citrus lift from the pink grapefruit. Subtle rhubarb adds a gentle tartness underneath. Palate: A beautifully balanced sip. Pink Lady Apple leads with a rounded sweetness, supported by juicy watermelon and a streak of rhubarb that keeps things lively. Pomegranate adds richness mid-palate, with juniper holding the whole thing together. Finish: Clean, softly sweet, with a lingering citrus note and the faintest floral warmth. BOTANICALS: Pink Lady Apples, Watermelon, Strawberry, Rhubarb, Pomegranate, Pink Grapefruit, Juniper Soft. Floral. Made once a year, for the ones who deserve it.

The Lewis Special - Chilli... $95.00
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. BOTANICALS Birds Eye Chilli · Lime · Strawberry · Native Pepperberry · Mango · Coconut · Vanilla BEST SERVED Lewis Special Collins: 45ml The Lewis Special, 20ml fresh lime juice, 15ml simple syrup, top with soda water. Build over ice in a tall glass and garnish with a fresh strawberry and chilli wheel. Vodka Lemonade: 45ml The Lewis Special over ice, top with lemonade, squeeze of fresh lime. Cold glass. Good ice. That's it. PERFECT FOR: Spicy margarita lovers · Citrus cocktail fans · Vodka soda drinkers looking for something different · Anyone who's earned a proper drink. Limited release. Made in small batches. Once it's gone, it's gone.
Cherry Bomb Liqueur $95.00
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.

Sharing the story of

GRANDDAD JACK

Founded by the father and son team, David & Luke Ridden, Granddad Jack's Craft Distillery came about from a trip to the USA. The pair discovered and enjoyed community-centric bars that cultivated a sense of community, uniqueness and belonging. With a passion for craft spirits, the trip cemented the idea of launching a neighbourhood-based distillery in honour of their grandfather, Granddad Jack, a man known for his resilience, loyal friendship, integrity, and hard work.

Granddad Jacks Craft Distillery is inspired by his story and driven by the same old-fashioned values and ethos he went through life with.

With an award-winning craft distillery on the Gold Coast in Queensland, a bar experience in Newcastle, New South Wales and international expansion into New Zealand, Singapore, Norway, Japan, China, Malaysia, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland and North America, our Australian handcrafted spirits are being enjoyed around the world.
