Vendela's "Across the Sea" Vodka $95.00
Introducing Vendela's Staff Release "Across The Sea" Vodka. This one-of-a-kind spirit will take your taste buds on a journey across continents. This vodka blend brings together the creamy sweetness of vanilla ice cream and the bold, exotic flavour of saffron. "Ice cream is my favourite thing in the world. It's not just a dessert but a source of comfort and joy that can transport me back to enjoying a soft, creamy vanilla ice cream in Sweden. On the other hand, my passion for saffron was ignited during a trip to Venice, where I enjoyed the best meal of my life, a ravioli with saffron sauce. I became obsessed with its distinct, aromatic flavour. For my release, I wanted to incorporate this unique flavour combination as a reflection of my two homes and unwavering love for both ice cream and saffron." - Vendela Rivelsrud Crafted with the highest quality ingredients and meticulous attention to detail, Granddad Jack's Saffron and Vanilla Ice Cream Vodka is the perfect addition to any cocktail or served simply over ice. So why not embark on a flavour journey 'Across The Sea' and indulge in a glass of this unique limited release today? skål - Cheers ABV: 40% Tasting Notes:Nose: Floral, Sweet Cream, Meringue Palate: Warm sweet, and floral spice from saffron, coated with a toffee caramel, cream mouthfeel from the vanilla beans, meringue and condensed milk. Ingredients: Condensed Milk, Whey Powder, Vanilla Beans, Meringue Kisses, A Sh*t Tonne of Saffron Production: When most ‘saffron’ spirits only use a few grams, we used close to 30g of saffron to bring Vendela’s vision to life in her staff release. Mica and Vendela worked closely together to create the vodka. They macerate condensed milk, whey powder, meringue kisses, vanilla beans and saffron. Then cooked and vapour infused the spirit with extra vanilla beans and meringue to add sweetness. They added a house-made saffron syrup to finish the spirit, adding extra colour and a truly silky and creamy mouthfeel.

Byron's Halo Halo Staff Release $95.00
At Granddad Jack's, staff mark their first anniversary by being given the opportunity to work alongside the production team to think up and create their very own spirit. The release is entirely their own, from concept to choosing the botanicals, putting together the label, distilling the product and sharing their story.Our Warehouse Coordinator, Byron Hubbard, is a big part of the behind-the-scenes here at Granddad Jack's, looking after your online orders and keeping everything in the warehouse running smoothly. When he's not carefully curating a playlist to blast out the back, he's labelling and hand waxing bottles, packing your orders or manoeuvring stock around the warehouse. If you've visited our Gold Coast Tasting Room, this won't be the first time you've seen his face since Byron started as one of our casual Tasting Room mixologists! We're so excited to be able to share his story with you and introduce this special limited staff release. To create this release, Byron worked closely with our production team to bring to life a dessert and flavour that sparks one of his fondest childhood memories. Using dried mango, vanilla beans, desiccated coconut and banana chips, the spirit was then vapour infused during distillation with Halo Halo Ube Syrup. The result is a sweet, creamy spirit that tastes like condensed milk, perfect for drinking on ice or adding to your Halo Halo dessert. “For my release, I made a spirit inspired by the Filipino dessert Halo Halo. I chose this because it’s a dessert that represents many fond memories for me, and it’s a delicious dessert that I wanted to share its unique flavours. The main ingredients of Halo Halo include Ube, Leche Flan (crème caramel), Evaporated Milk (or condensed milk), Jackfruit, Mixed Sweetened Fruit and Shaved Ice. Halo Halo translates to “mix-mix”, which is exactly what you do when served with this layered dessert. When I was a kid, one of my favourite memories was visiting my family in the Philippines. One person I loved spending time with in particular was my Lolo (Granddad) Rene. I remember many of the times I spent with him, including afternoons building sandcastles and enjoying Halo Halo by the beach. This sweet but refreshing dessert is a big part of my culture and childhood and something I wanted to share with you in my very own spirit.” Nose: Off the nose the condensed milk and ube is very heavy. This is enhanced when chilled.Palate: It starts off with sweeter notes from the condensed milk and sweetened fruit mix, and is quickly followed by the ube flavour and a subtle hint of jackfruit.Ingredients: Dried Mango, Vanilla Bean, Desiccated Coconut, Banana Chips, Vapour Infused Halo Halo Ube SyrupSignature cocktail: Halo Halo Cocktail (each purchase includes a complimentary tasting card and cocktail recipe) Available from:  Thursday, 23rd February 2023 - 3pm from the Gold Coast Tasting Room only. All orders will be processed and available for pickup after the release date.

Rum Division Single Barrel $295.00
This release is our very first Rum. Housed in our SE Qld barrel room in sub-tropical environments and aged for 2 years and 1 month in a 50L medium char American Oak barrel, this single barrel rum release was made from a pre-maturation blend of distilled molasses (74%) and unrefined cane sugar, known as distilled panela (26%). This blend created the perfect balance of light and grassy notes and bold and bitter notes from the molasses.  During the ageing process, 39% of the total starting volume was shared with the angels, resulting in a concentrated mixture of barrel spice and sweet rum. Reduced to 43% ABV, there are only 96 bottles available.   Nose: American Whiskey, Toffee Apple, Stewed Fruit, Nutmeg and Clove Palate: Smooth Vanilla, Cinnamon, Golden Crust of an Apple Pie Packaging: Hand packed by us, each bottle is individually wrapped and waxed with the pieces you need to find our hidden treasure.

Tim & The Giant Peach $95.00
At Granddad Jack's, staff mark their first anniversary by being given the opportunity to work alongside the production team to think up and create their very own spirit. The release is entirely their own, from concept to choosing the botanicals, putting together the label, distilling the product and sharing their story. Our Mixologist, Tim Hildebrandt, keeps the team and our customers in high spirits at the Miami Tasting Room. Always happy and bringing good vibes, he's become a favourite amongst our locals and knows how to provide the best experience whenever you visit.  Tim worked closely with our production team to bring to life one of his many stories with this particular release. They chose to pre-macerate the neutral spirit with canned peaches (and all their juicy goodness) and then vapour infuse the gin during distillation with earl grey tea, dry peaches, vanilla beans, maple syrup and juniper berries.  The result is a sweet and creamy peachy gin perfect for an iced tea on a warm Spring afternoon.  “This gin was inspired by my Summers growing up in Canada on our family farm. Like most family businesses, we’d work weeks straight in Canada’s hottest weather, with a day off as rare as rain in the Sahara. The only reprieve was knocking off with an ice-cold glass of Nanna’s homemade peach iced tea, made with the very peaches we’d picked that day. Fast forward 15 years later, and my drink of choice to quench my thirst has remained mostly the same, but having grown up just a little, I prefer my “post-work knock-offs” a little stronger. So for my release, I wanted to capture those flavours from my childhood and create the same refreshing experience in an easy-drinking and laid-back gin. ” - Tim Hildebrandt, Miami Mixologist Tasting Notes:Palate: Floral and fragrant notes from the tea, mixed with creamy, sweet vanilla and a mouth-filling juicy peach coating cut through with a piney hint of juniperNose:  Sweet, creamy vanilla and fleshy peaches with a hint of floral   ABV: 37% Serving suggestions: Try our signature "Peachy Tea" cocktail recipe, or simply enjoy it neat.

Bailiff Whiskey Bank Bag & Ledger $425.00
In 1932 the Bailiff carried an old school bank note bag to collect the final payment for the farm from the young Granddad Jack. He proudly made payment in full, and the Bailiff stamped Granddad Jack's ledger 'paid'. As the next chapter of our Bailiff Whiskey begins, we were determined to create a timeless piece that represents Granddad Jack's values and brings another component to the story. So, this year, we embarked on an ambitious project to create another bespoke item to house our premium, small-batch whiskey releases. In the spirit of Granddad Jack, we've created something to be kept, cherished, and reused long after the bottle is empty.  The making of the Bailiff’s Bank Bag: The Bailiff's bank note bag was entirely constructed and finished by the skilled hands of Josef Selway, co-owner and talented craftsman behind the boutique workshop Blue & Grae, located in Albion, Brisbane. This piece was created to represent the old-school bank bag carried by the Bailiff as he approached to collect what was owed on the farm all those years ago. The bag's design and functionality, along with the traditional methods & tools used to craft it, are also a little nod to those from the same era of the story. Every element has been carefully thought about, from sourcing the finest Australian leather & assembling the components with tarnished hardware to represent the age. The dedication to true craftsmanship & meticulous attention to detail shown by Josef guarantees small-batch, quality pieces every time, each slightly different to the next. The story behind the ledger: When Granddad Jack made payment for the farm in full, he had never been prouder. So now, as you join the journey, we mark this moment as you, too, have made payment to the Bailiff. With every drink, we encourage you to celebrate. Share your story & write down in the ledger each time you share a drink and with whom you share it.

Barrel-Aged Barbershop Coffee Liqueur $130.00
Since opening in 2018, barrel-aged spirits have been part of an ongoing project at Granddad Jack’s. Our barrels have housed micro-batch gins, whiskeys, and traditional cocktails like the Negroni, Manhattan, and a Martini. We’ve always tried to give new life to a barrel and recycle them for as long as possible to create unique flavours and bring forward the characteristics left behind in the barrel from each fill. This process adds more depth and complexity to a spirit and creates a truly one-off release.In honour of Granddad Jack’s 103rd birthday and the 48 years he spent as the local barber, we rested our award-winning Barbershop Coffee Liqueur for just over a year in a medium-char, American Oak barrel that previously housed our Bailiff Single Malt Whiskey.This barrel-aged coffee liqueur represents what happens when two of our favourite worlds collide, fusing the traditional components of single malt whiskey with the elements of coffee liqueur. The characteristics of the whiskey & the properties that oak traditionally contributes to barrel-aged spirits heavily influenced the spirit to create this one-of-a-kind release. Every purchase includes an incredibly limited, and release exclusive collectors coin; the very first for our new barrel-aged spirits releases, to be cherished long after the bottle is empty.We hope you enjoy this liqueur as much as we loved making it.  Ingredients: Coffee, Eucalyptus, Vanilla, CoconutABV: 25% Palate: Mature softness delivered from the time spent in the barrel, with hints of chewy toffee and coffee candy.  Nose: Sweet vanilla cigars, Christmas pudding and the aroma of a busy cafe.  All orders will be ready for pickup or delivery from Monday, 13th June 2022 from the Gold Coast Tasting Room. Where shipping is required, orders will be shipped the following business day.

However, we could acknowledge the traditional ingredients & methods of the drink to create & distil Chicha de Maiz (corn Chicha)."When I was 12, my family travelled to Peru to walk the Inca trail & explore the Amazon. Here I learned the importance of traditions, storytelling & culture. It's also where I enjoyed my first alcoholic beverage, Chicha. This traditional Andean South American drink has been historically made by women & used by Aboriginal communities through the centuries for ceremonies, rituals, festivities & everyday drinking. You know you've stumbled onto a chicheria if you see a broomstick pole in the doorway topped with a red bag or flag. Now, 12 years later, I've been able to create a distilled Chicha as my limited staff release. It represents my experiences travelling South America and the sense of community & feeling of family that I've been fortunate enough to be a part of & meet while working here.

We gave her a pretty open brief and trusted her to make something warm and beautiful, with only one actual request. We wanted to incorporate two things into the bouquet. First is the eucalyptus leaf, which is always in around our distillery and the main ingredient in our signature cocktail, Seymour Street. We also wanted to bring a part of Granddad Jack into the label and include Dahlias, Granddad Jack’s favourite flower and what he grew most often in his beloved garden.

Yuzucello $90.00
This Granddad Jack’s limited release liqueur is our twist on the traditional Italian Limoncello. It was made with Yuzu, a unique citrus fruit, originally from China but now popular in Japanese cuisine. The Yuzu has a beautiful lemony, mandarin, bergamot flavour and we were lucky to source ours locally, in the heart of the Tweed Valley, from Buck’s Farm (operated for over 40 years by Gerard ‘Buck’ Buchanan, a passionate farmer and an all-round good bloke who was the first commercial grower in Australia). We hand-picked a couple hundred Yuzus and back at the distillery got peeling! The fresh peels sat for several days infusing 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 the delicious combination of the tangy and sweet Yuzu goodness, making it perfect for a summer cocktail or as a digestif after a night of good food and wine. When enjoying Yuzucello straight, serve chilled (but not over ice) to really enjoy the flavours. Note: The liqueur is super dense in tasty citrus oils from the peel which can sometimes separate into little flavour specs that float in the spirit. To ensure the flavours are well melded, give the bottle a good shake before pouring.

Barrel-Aged Peated Two Pencils Gin $145.00
At Granddad Jack’s we love our whiskey and when a barrel of whiskey is emptied (especially a 20L) we often sit and savour the aromas left behind, aromas far too good not to take advantage of and we find ourselves concocting ways to repurpose the barrel and make use of those amazing flavours. This was definitely the case when we emptied a 20L light char barrel that had aged our Peated Bailiff Whiskey. We decided the lightly sweet and smoky flavours left behind in the Ex-Peated Whiskey barrel would be a perfect match to the dryness of our Two Pencils Gin so we re-filled the barrel with it. With regular tasting checks, it was six months later that our Peated Two Pencils Gin was ready! It left the barrel at a respectable 64% ABV and champagne gold in colour before being reduced to a lower ABV (done to bring forward the underlying flavours). This process allowed the smokiness imparted by the barrel along with the classic dryness of the gin to shine through in a unique and balanced way. During World War II, Granddad Jack obtained his trotting licence. He bought a horse called ‘Sack Cloth’, but it never did much good on the track.  Earlier legend has it that when Granddad Jack was a lad, he would buy big pencils, then cut them in half and sharpen them to make two pencils, selling both at the races for a penny each…doubling his money. Perhaps this is how he was able to buy his racehorse! Tasting Notes: Two Pencils, an all juniper gin was left to age in a light char 20L American Oak Barrel that had previously aged our Peated Bailiff Whiskey. Nose: Slight smoke, hints of white pepper, maple and pine. Pallet: Pepper and cinnamon hit the taste buds first before fading quickly to reveal a surprisingly light match of juniper, cardamom and crispy maple bacon before a long smoky finish. Try it at home, neat or with the East Imperial's Kima Kola provided. Dare we say, a deliciously poncey take on a scotch and coke! ABV:  43%

Evergreen Feijoa Gin $90.00

Some say the centre is a little bit like a mix of strawberry & pineapple & the outer more like a pear, others have said the fruit tastes like a combination of pineapple, guava & sherbet.  In this novel & original gin, Head Distiller Luke has created a smooth taste with a soft, almost creamy texture. Starting with a strong Juniper base, the pallet is then tickled with hints of Green Apple, Toasted Coconut, Honey, Angelica Root & of course, Feijoa.Enjoy & let your own taste buds decide what flavours come through. Best served in our signature cocktail (below) or with light & dry tonic or soda. In the meantime, back in the distillery, the debate about how to pronounce it will continue!

Rum Division Spiced $150.00
This one-off experimental batch, first blended a Molasses based spirit with a Cane Juice based spirit – in the process, marrying the rich, sweet and woody flavours of the Molasses with the grassy and herbaceous flavours of the Cane Spirit. The blend then spent six months ageing in a small 20L barrel before being infused with spices of cinnamon, vanilla and cardamom. The barrel had previously been used to age our spice led 65 Miles navy-strength gin where the residual flavours remaining in the barrel worked once again to enhance the character of our very unique ‘Spiced’. Easily enjoyed over ice with dry ginger ale and a fresh slice of lime. TASTING NOTES: [Pallet] This spirit is at first light on the tongue, revealing itself on the back pallet with winter spice & sweet grassy notes. Hints of charred oak, gala apple and cinnamon linger for a long finish. [Nose] Toffee apple, cinnamon, vanilla & oak.Signature Cocktail: Maritime Exchange [included on complimentary tasting card]ABV:  45.8% Available from: Saturday 3 pm on the  27th March 2021Delivery timeframes: All orders will be ready for pickup or delivery from Saturday 3 pm on the  27th March 2021.

Jimmy's 2/22 Staff Release $90.00
2/22Nebbiolo + GinJimmy's Anniversary Release At Granddad Jack's, staff mark their one year anniversary by being given the opportunity to work alongside Luke (Head Distiller) to think up and create their very own spirit! From concept to choosing the botanicals, putting together the label, distilling the product and sharing their story…the release is entirely theirs!Jimmy Farrer, is one of our best Cocktail Mixologist's and All-Round Warehouse Legends. In honour of Jimmy & his dad, a Winemaker, we've created another world-first release. The gin base of this release was distilled with Juniper, Cinnamon, Clove, Cardamom, Orange Peel & Vanilla and then carefully blended with a rare 2009 Nebbiolo to create something truly one of a kind. "The name 2/22 is a tribute to the 2/22nd Australian Infantry Battalion otherwise known as 'Lark Force' who trained in the hills surrounding what later became, Traawool Valley Vineyard, where I grew up. My Dad was a winemaker for 23yrs and as a kid, I actually helped pick the grapes that went into this rare Nebbiolo, released back in 2009 and now over a decade later, it has become part of my own special generational creation." - Jimmy Farrer Jimmy’s dad, John, gave up the last few bottles of his prized & perfectly aged 2009 Nebbiolo. It deserved extra special treatment in this release and in a cocktail that does it justice. We believe it's best enjoyed straight on the rocks or used to reinvent a classic cocktail like an old fashioned. Check out our signature cocktail recipe below.

Di's Sweet Pear-fection (January) $90.00
At Granddad Jack's, staff mark their one year anniversary by being given the opportunity to work alongside Luke (Head Distiller) to think up and create their very own spirit! From concept to choosing the botanicals, putting together the label, distilling the product and sharing their story…the release is entirely theirs! Di Josipovic, Head Designer and Chief of Finding Things at Granddad Jack’s has worked tirelessly with us to help build our brand, source materials, create labels and make things happen and now a year down the track has created her own spirit too! We’d like to introduce our first release of 2021, Di’s Sweet Pear-fection.  A  spirit influenced by her heritage & inspired by Croatian 'Kruškovac' 'Kruškovac' [pron. kroo-shko-vutz] is a fine golden liqueur made from tree-ripened pears which for over a century has been an inseparable part of Croatian customs & celebrations. "My parents migrated from Croatia to their beloved Australia, in 1968 in search of a better life. I grew up with shots of 'Kruškovac' marking many milestones in life and to this day trays of shot glasses are passed around at gatherings to toast joyful celebrations and even to respectfully toast & honour the departure of loved ones. It seemed apt then to mark this milestone by creating Granddad Jack’s interpretation of it”.  - Di JosipovicThis interpretation reflects the popular & distinctive sweet, intensive aroma and flavours by blending Ripe Pears and Vanilla Bean with Granddad Jack's 65 Miles Gin (already full of Cinnamon, Clove, Orange, Star Anise and Cardamon) creating a sweet, smooth taste with a soft warming heat. Best enjoyed as a shot neat, sipped on ice or use it as a welcome ingredient in ingenious cocktails such as the below, concocted with the help of Roman Rabik (GJ’s European Brand Ambassador, who happens to coincidentally be based in Croatia!

Zac's 2022 Tropical Heat Gin $90.00
🍍 Zac's Tropical Heat Gin #2🌶 At Granddad Jack's, to celebrate our staff on their one year anniversary they're given the opportunity to create their very own spirit. From choosing their own botanicals, putting together the label to distilling the product, the release is entirely their own.  Zac's Tropical Heat Gin is a supercharged, fun gin (not unlike Zac!)... hot, unconventional, full of surprises and always adding a little spice to your life. Dave's had his budgies in a knot ever since it was first released in 2020. We think it's because he can't take the heat... but it could be the fact that Zac's proclaimed the title of 'Fastest-Selling Staff Release Ever" and won't shut up about it. However, against Dave's good judgment, we've decided to trust the people (and Zac), so back by very popular demand, & in honour of Zac's third year, we release batch #2 of Zac's Tropical Heat Gin; the fastest-selling staff release...Batch #2 will be available from 28th January 2022 Created with a big dose of Juniper, Chilli and Pineapple. "This gin pays homage to my travels around Central America and Canada, as the botanicals used to create this refreshing Gin emulate my experiences. Enjoy my gin with a light, dry tonic or mix it up into a spicy cocktail." - Zac Boyd Signature Cocktail: Tropical Heat Margarita, watch the video now.Botanicals: Juniper, Chilli, Pineapple  ABV: 40%   All orders will be ready for pickup or delivery from Friday, 28th January 2022.

Not Whiskey (Peated) $170.00
Peated "Not Whiskey" Each whiskey release is special & can never be reproduced. This one is no different. To celebrate Granddad Jack's 101st birthday we have bottled a very limited release of our first peated Not Whiskey. Only 40 bottles available. Available for pick up or delivery from Saturday 20th June, while stocks last.  Granddad Jack loved a whiskey and enjoyed one 'neat' everyday. He believed that "all great spirits can be drunk neat" and we made sure this release met those standards.  There were two things in life Granddad Jack didn't like... Stupid People & Stupid Rules.  Stupid Rule #11: In Australia to call a Whiskey, 'Whiskey' it must be aged in a wooden barrel for a minimum of two years. They don't care that our new age thinking & progressive techniques using smaller 20L craft barrels allow us to produce world class whiskey in less time. Until stupid rules are changed, we present our "Not Whiskey".  You decide... is it or isn't it?   Don't worry, if you miss out on this batch we will be releasing another Whiskey in August.   FREE SHIPPING IS NOT ELIGIBLE ON THIS RELEASE.
