Style: Gin  |  ABV: 40%  |  Size: 500 ml  |  Standard Drinks: 16.9  |  Batch: No. 1 Staff Release: For Tash’s one year anniversary behind the bar at Granddad’s in Newcastle, she’s made her grandpa’s garden into a gin. Grandpa Dean always had a garden. Fruit, vegetables, herbs and rhubarb at both of his houses, and everything he grew ended up in a jar. Every year the whole family picked blackberries at Lenswood, hoping there’d be enough jam to last until next time. This is Tash’s gin. Rhubarb and blackberry jam from the garden, finger lime, lemon myrtle and pepper berry from the bush, and juniper holding it all together. Every part of this release was carefully put together, including the label, hand painted by her mum, Angelique Keil, from ingredients handpicked from memory. One small batch, hand-crafted. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. The story At Granddad Jack’s, staff mark their first year by working alongside the production team to create a spirit of their own, from the botanicals to the label to the way it’s served. When we asked Tash what she wanted to make, she didn’t pick a style. She picked a person. Some of her clearest memories are from trips away with her family: her grandpa with a piece of toast with blackberry jam and cream on it, and her own beside him. Simple, but theirs. So this is a fruit-forward rhubarb and blackberry jam gin, with actual jam in the batch, and Australian natives because Dean loved what grew around him and brought the garden into everything the family did. The label is a watercolour of his garden painted by Tash’s mum, Dean’s daughter: the fruit tree, the rhubarb patch, the blackberries, and a jar of jam sitting on the garden bench. Three generations on one bottle. Crafted by Natasha Keil, poured for Grandpa. What it tastes like Nose Blackberry jam first, sweet and ripe, with bright rhubarb tartness underneath and a fresh citrus lift from finger lime and lemon myrtle. Palate Jammy and fruit-forward. Stewed rhubarb and blackberry coat the palate, finger lime pearls keep it lively, and juniper holds the middle together while native pepper berry builds a gentle warmth. Finish Soft jammy sweetness drying into pepper berry warmth and a clean juniper close. The toast is up to you. Ingredients Rhubarb, Blackberries, Blackberry Jam, Finger Lime, Lemon Myrtle, Tasmanian Pepper Berry, Juniper How to enjoy it The Simple Pour. 30ml over ice, topped with Solo and garnished with fresh blackberries. Yes, Solo. The lemon squash cuts straight through the jam and it works far better than it has any right to. Start here. The Garden Sour. The signature serve, shaken with sour apple and blackcurrant, lime and blackberry jam syrup, finished with a vanilla cold foam. A nod to jam and cream on toast. This one is built for you at the distillery bar and at Granddad’s in Newcastle; it’s a drink that earns its bartender. The Garden Spritz. The one to make at home: gin, lime, sugar and apple blackcurrant, built over ice and topped with soda. Scales to a jug for four. Every bottle comes with the recipe card.

Style: Gin Liqueur  |  ABV: 37.5%  |  Size: 500 ml  |  Standard Drinks: 15  |  Batch: No. 3 Limited Release: Limoncello, but with lime... and a gin. Made once a year with our mates at Crafted Festival, who turned ten this year. Limecello Gin is back for its third year. 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. The last of Batch No. 3 is in the vault. 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 and at the distillery. 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.
