Limecello Gin 2026 $95.00
Style: Gin Liqueur  |  ABV: 37.5%  |  Size: 500 ml  |  Standard Drinks: 15  |  Batch: No. 3 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 How to enjoy it The Simple Pour. Over ice, topped with Fever-Tree Lime & Yuzu soda and a dehydrated lime wheel. Our Limecello shines brightest when you keep it simple and let the zesty lime do the talking. Start here.

Rachel's Herbal Oak Gin $95.00
Style: Oak Gin | ABV: 57% | Size: 500 ml | Standard Drinks: 22.5 Limited Release: For Rach's one year anniversary, she's created an oak gin as a postcard back home to Scotland. Botanicals: Juniper · Fresh Rhubarb · Granny Smith Apple · Orris Root · Pine Resin · Blaeberry · Heather Flower · Pine Needles · Lemon Peel At Granddad Jack’s, making it through your first year comes with a pretty good perk. Our staff get to step into production and create a spirit of their own, from what goes into the still and how it tastes, right through to the label and the way we serve it. When we asked Rachel, the Gold Coast Bar Manager, what she wanted to make, she said a Scotch. Of course she did... There was just one fairly significant problem. Scotch has to come from Scotland, it needs a minimum of three years in oak, and Miami, Queensland is a long way from home on both counts. So Rach made the next best thing: a postcard home. Rach was born in Inverness and most recently lived with her mum in Conon Bridge, where Ross-shire runs down towards the Cromarty Firth. When it came time to build her spirit, she went back to the things she knew from there. Juniper, heather flower, pine needles and pine resin, blaeberries, rhubarb and Granny Smith for tartness, orris root underneath it all, and lemon peel over the top. Less a list of botanicals and more a walk through the Scottish hillside, put through the still. Then came the oak. Instead of trying to turn it into something it isn’t, Rach rested the gin with charred American oak spirals, giving it colour, weight and a smoky edge. The pine resin brings smoke of its own, and somewhere along the way the two found each other. The base spirit is different too. Rather than the neutral grain spirit most gin begins with, this one is built on grape marc, the skins, seeds and stems left behind after grapes have been pressed. Marc carries some character of its own through distillation, which gives the gin enough backbone to stand up to the oak rather than disappear behind it. And then there’s the unicorn. Scotland chose a mythical animal as its national symbol and has stuck with it for centuries. Most countries went with something you might actually come across. Scotland went with the unicorn. Somehow, for a gin standing in where Rach originally wanted a whisky, that felt exactly right. It also helps that Rach is horse mad. Harry was her 'Gings' ginger Shetland pony, and Marble was considerably bigger, but the pair found their way into the story behind her hero cocktail. Everything on the label comes back to Scotland. Everything in the bottle comes back to somewhere Rach has walked. It’s not Scotch. It was never going to be. But at 57%, with Scottish botanicals at its heart, grape marc underneath and charred oak spirals doing their thing, it’s got enough grunt to stand in the same room. The closest thing to a Scottish hillside we could legally make in Miami. "This gin is my version of a love letter to Scotland. Had I never been so far from home I can’t be sure I would have put so much thought into the apple trees that grew in my Mum’s back garden, the Sundays spent picking brambles on forest dog walks with my Dad or the persistent obsession with horses that has been passed down by the many women who came before me. Everything about this spirit is inspired by the places and people that raised me and lucky for you, it packs a fair punch too.  Hope this finds you well, Slàinte mhath! " - Rachel Gillies What it tastes like Nose Pine and fresh florals up front, herbaceous underneath, with smoke sitting quietly at the back. Palate Crisp pine and delicate florals give way to warming charred oak. Heather and blaeberry lift green apple and pine needles into a herbaceous freshness, with a subtle citrus edge from lemon peel. Earthy orris root and tart rhubarb balance the middle. Finish Warm smoked oak, long and dry. At 57% it holds on a while. How to drink it The Perfect Pour : 30ml over plenty of ice, topped with Pacific tonic. Garnish with two lemon half-moons and a few juniper berries. The easy way, and the best way. Harry & Marble : 30ml gin, 5ml amaro, 20ml Earl Grey syrup, 20ml fresh lemon juice. Stirred down and strained over a king cube, garnished with a dehydrated lemon wheel and rosemary. Rach's whisky sour, made with the whisky she wasn't allowed to make, and named after her beloved Grandma's horses. Packs a Punch : A jug for four. 160ml gin, 80ml apple juice, 80ml lemon juice, 60ml Earl Grey syrup, 20ml honey, topped with ginger beer. Apple slices, lemon slices and rosemary. All recipes can be found here: Rach's Staff Release 2026: Three Ways to Drink Herbal Oak Gin PERFECT FOR: Negroni drinkers · Whisky people who claim they don't like gin · Anyone who's ever been homesick · Anyone who's earned a proper drink. Where to find it Online here, at the Distillery Door (45 Lemana Lane, Miami, Gold Coast), and from 24 August at Granddad Jack's Bar Experience in Newcastle. Limited release. 144 bottles.

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.
