These whiskeys started out as the same liquid, brewed out of 100% heavily peated malt and distilled in the same batch on the same day. Their journey parted when the, then 65.88% ABV liquid was divided in half & sent to hibernate into two separate small 20L barrels. Each barrel with its own characteristics - as a result of the Cooper’s handcrafting. The barrels were both made of Virgin American Oak and both only lightly charred (one more tightly coopered than the other). The whiskeys spent 2yrs & 1mth sitting right beside each other in our barrel room, ageing away, slowly leaking, evaporating and soaking into the wood until finally being ready for bottling. This is when the differences emerged.  

 

ABV: 53% Size: 500ml bottle Release Date: January 2020 Limited Release Qty: 38 bottles Tasting Notes: Our award winning 65 Miles Gin has been rested in a heavy char American Oak barrel for 12 months, that's longer than both its previous releases. As a result, a stronger oak flavour has bonded with the Gin complementing the existing orange, star anise & baking spice flavours.  Still backing a large juniper presence, this Gin can be enjoyed like a fine whiskey over ice, shaken into an amazing sour or mixed with some soda & orange peel for a refreshing tipple.  This is the last ever 65 Miles to be aged in a 20L Barrel.    Loved it? Leave a review and tell us your take on our very special limited release.

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. 

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%    

ABV: 20% Size: 200ml & 500ml Release Date: October 2018 Tasting Notes: This release screams 'Bring on Summer' and helps us to maintain our zero-waste goal in the distillery! The delightfully delicious "Bittersweet Aperitif" was created by macerating the fresh orange peel we had left over from a recent distillation (of our 65 Miles Gin, adding black tea, pink peppercorns, liquorice root and mulberries into our award-winning Two Pencils Gin.  Served best with soda & orange.

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 the concept to choosing the botanicals, putting together the label, distilling the product and sharing their story, the release is entirely their own.Bri Moore is the Gold Coast Duty Manager and looks after the Miami Tasting Room and staff to ensure we always provide the ultimate experience. In honour of Bri & her travelling experience, we've created another world-first release.Baked Bri is the first-ever distilled Chicha. Due to the lack of historical methods available, we could not brew the drink customarily. 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. It's a dream come true to share this with you."  Ingredients: CORN, CLOVES, VANILLA, FIG CINNAMON, WALNUT, HONEY, APPLEABV: 40% Palate: Clove and rich toffee spring to life first before transforming in the mouth to a beautiful finish of caramelised banana and Biscoff. Nose: Toasted Banana Bread, clove, vanilla, cinnamon and allspice. All orders will be ready for pickup or delivery from Friday, 27th May 2022 from the Gold Coast Tasting Room. Where shipping is required, orders will be shipped the following business day.
