It's Not Cachaca Rhum $95.00

Introducing, It’s Not Cachaça by Granddad Jack’s Craft Distillery. This limited release is as close to cachaça as you’ll get in Australia —yet with a Granddad Jack’s twist.

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.
