Limited Release: Limoncello, but with lime... and a gin.
Granddad Jack's Distillery and Crafted Festival proudly present their annual festival exclusive: Limecello Gin, back for its third year as Crafted turns ten.
This citrus-forward take on the traditional Limoncello, is a zesty gin crafted with fresh lime peel, lime juice, native lemon myrtle, juniper, and a cheeky dose of Mr Kipling’s Lemon Bakewell Pie, distilled in for a light, pastry-like finish.
Sold out in three weeks last year. Once it’s gone, it’s gone for another year.
Made for the festival
Vibrant, smooth, and full of citrus charm, this limited release was made for the sunny, high-energy vibes of the Crafted Festival. You’ll only find it here, at the distillery, or poured at Crafted Festival, Kurrawa Park on Saturday 12 September, so don’t miss your chance to sip this one-of-a-kind celebration of flavour, festival fun, and fine local craftsmanship.
At Granddad Jack’s, we strive for difference in flavour and a unique twist in the way we make spirits. For this release we not only used lime in the traditional sense but crafted a spirit that includes native lemon myrtle and even some lemon pie, distilled into the batch for a light pastry note. We doubled down on the lime in our syrup when reducing this batch into a sensational Cello.
What it tastes like
- Nose
- Bright, zesty, sweet, fresh, fragrant, and jammy citrus.
- Palate
- Creamy and jammy mouth-coating citrus, followed by a zesty, verdant, citrusy aftertaste and a slightly piquant finish on the roof of your palate and throat. A great take on a Limoncello, but with a lime base and in a gin form.
- Ingredients
- Lime Peel, Lime Juice, Lemon Myrtle, Juniper, Mr Kipling Lemon Bakewell Pie, Citric Acid, Sugar
