MONTHLY RELEASES

Every month we release a new limited release spirit, available until sold out. Try them before they're gone...

Hazy Coconut Gin $95.00
Hazy Coconut Gin is the result of our passion for creating unforgettable experiences and making all our customers especially our biggest supporters feel like they’re at home. This Limited release was created by macerating juniper, coconut oil, coconut flakes, and lime peel in the still for 24 hours, creating a smooth, zesty base with a vibrant citrus boost. During distillation, we supercharged the gin basket with toasted coconut, adding a sweet nose and light caramelisation. To finish, we incorporated a reduction of coconut water, amplifying the coconut flavour and creating its signature hazy appearance. The result? A velvety, extra-smooth gin with creamy coconut, a touch of lime zest, and a dry hint of juniper. Perfect for all coconut loving cocktails or as an easy serve with Pineapple Juice, this unconventional gin delivers tropical vibes in every sip. So how did Hazy Coconut Gin come about? It’s actually the brainchild of one of our biggest fans! Mr Matt. A supporter from day one and an active part of our community on multiple fronts.  Luke was told one day that Matt’s big 40th Birthday was coming up and what a better way to show him some love than to create his dream gin. One special bottle was made, loved and never forgotten.  A couple of years later, after non-stop campaigning and endless persistence this regular face of the distillery somehow convinced Luke that this flavour needed to be brought back to life and here we are…Granddad Jack’s making dreams come true one bottle at a time.  We hope you enjoy this release as much as we have loved making it.  ABV: 40% Tasting Notes: Nose: Sweet toasted coconut aroma with a hint of zesty lime.Palate: Heavy sweet and toasted coconut notes with a hint of lingering zesty lime and cut through with dry juniper.

Hunter's Mulumbinba Vodka $95.00
Introducing Hunter's Mulumbinba Vodka. "Yaama, This spirit came about as I wanted a way to share the stories of both my childhood and culture. I’ve used mulberries, oranges and mandarins as the main flavour base, these remind me of fond memories of my adolescence from getting my hands stained purple picking and eating mulberries with my cousins to inhaling oranges during halftime every Saturday." ('Yaama') means hello in many Aboriginal dialects around Australia). Tasting these always bring me back to a place of sun scorched days and spending time with friends and family. The botanicals which I have used were chosen not only as they taste great but also because they have been used in medicine forever in Australia. Myrtle is a potent tonic for cold and flu symptoms and pepper berry is a popular seasoning for food and helps to fight infection. Mulumbinba is a fresh, citrusy spirit with a beautiful earthy undertone backed up by some bitter sweet notes. Best enjoyed on ice with a slice of fresh orange and soda if it’s hot outside." - Hunter Blunden ABV: 40% Tasting Notes: Nose: Bittersweet, citrus and earthyPalate: Sweet citrus followed by a counterbalanced bitter earth and peppery notes. The dry botanicals of honey myrtle and geralton wax fuses together the floral and sweet citrus enhanced by mandarin and orange flesh and peel, cut through with the peppery and bitter earth notes of pepper berries, angelica and orris root.  Ingredients: Orris Root, Angelica Root, Orange Flesh and Peel, Mandarin Flesh, Honey Myrtle, Pepper Berries, Geralton Wax, Mulberries, Blackberries.  Serving Suggestion: Best enjoyed on ice with a slice of fresh orange, cracked pepper and soda if it’s hot outside.  Signature Cocktail: Mulumbinba Sour - You can enjoy one our signature cocktails at the Gold Coast tasting room or Newcastle Bar Experience this weekend, or make it at home with these recipes.

Alba's Sangria Aperitif $95.00

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.
