MICA’S MIXOLOGY NOTES: A flavourful navy-strength spiced gin that leaves a delightful aftertaste. The scent of cinnamon and star anise is evident upon opening the bottle, and the spices' heat lingers on your palate as you take a sip. The orange peel and cloves then give way to a sweet and citrusy aftertaste, providing an explosion of flavours in your mouth. This navy-strength spirit is incredibly intricate yet harmoniously balanced.

GREAT MIXERS FOR 65 MILES GIN INCLUDE

  • Citrus (Lime)
  • Fruits, Plants & Flowers (Orange)
  • Herbs (Rosemary)
  • Mixers (Smooth citrus or dry tonic, sparkling water, soda)
This type of gin can be enjoyed as a good ‘ole whiskey! Suitable for blazers, mulled wines, sangrias, gin old fashioned, gin sours, spiced flavours, or palate friendly with a cinnamon punch. Be careful not to overpower the intense botanicals, rather try to enhance them.

For a classic G&T at Granddad Jack's we serve 65 Miles Gin with East Imperial Grapefruit Tonic Water, a dehydrated orange slice and three juniper berries.

The story behind the spirit

why the name?

When Granddad Jack was just fourteen, he embarked on an extraordinary 65-mile journey on his bike with his mate. They were looking for work to save the family farm and were able to secure a job working at a sheep station.

On their journey, they carried only the bare necessities: a canteen composed of a billy fashioned from a syrup tin, two tobacco tins for brewing tea, a bit of milk, their lunch, and a prized possession, the first batch of Granddad's homemade whiskey.

Remarkably, they arrived at their destination by 3 o'clock, showing little sign of fatigue. Their feat was widely regarded as a remarkable achievement, particularly given the challenging uphill terrain of the journey, and the tale even made it into the local paper.

At 57% ABV, our 65 Miles navy strength gin is a tribute to Granddad Jack's dedication, integrity and all-around hard-arse nature. This navy-strength, full flavour, spiced gin represents all of his adventures and the tough roads he travelled throughout his early years.

tasting notes

Botanicals: Juniper, Orange Peel, Cardamom, Clove, Star Anise, Cinnamon

Nose: Bold and intense aroma of spices, cinnamon, clove, and orange peel with a hint of juniper in the background.

Palate: A fiery and full-flavoured gin that packs a punch. The spices are prominent, with cardamom and star anise adding complexity to the taste. The juniper is not shy but rather a complementary addition to the overall boldness of the gin.

Finish: Long and warming, with the spices lingering on the palate. The high alcohol content is noticeable but doesn't overpower the other flavours, leaving a satisfying and memorable aftertaste.
