Sip, sample and hear the story behind Brisbane’s newest gin, vodka & liqueur craft distillery. This guided distillery tour will introduce you to the spirit-making process and Brisbane’s thriving craft spirit culture.

Enjoy a gin and tonic on arrival and tastings of our award-winning spirits and liqueurs as you are guided through the distillery and introduced to the history of Granddad Jack, the processes involved in making our beloved spirits and given a behind-the-scenes tour of our family-owned distillery.

David & Luke Ridden are handcrafting spirits and sharing the story in memory of their Granddad Jack. Each award-winning spirit is made from locally or nationally sourced raw materials and is still hand-waxed! Production is on full show to visitors from the Tasting Room, and when inside, you can smell the aromas of the botanicals and whiskey as it seeps through the oak barrels surrounding you.

We’re a family-friendly neighbourhood distillery in the backstreets of the industrial Albion community. Just a few minutes walk from other local breweries, cafes and restaurants, you can quickly see why we’ve been landmarked as a ‘must-see’ destination with QLD Tourism. Come and see for yourself.

Granddad Jack's Craft Distillery Tours

A little bit about Granddad Jack’s Craft Distillery.

Granddad Jack’s Craft Distillery is the Gold Coast’s first and only craft Gin, Vodka, Whiskey and Liqueur distillery located just two minutes walk from the North Burleigh beach. Handcrafting small batch spirits in memory of their great Granddad Jack, each of their spirits is carefully distilled, bottled, labelled and waxed by their family distillery.

The team at Granddad Jack’s have humbly won over 120 international and national prestigious awards for their spirits since opening in August 2018, and they invite you to join them on a tour or visit the Tasting Room to try for yourself.

Production is on full show to visitors from the Tasting Room, and tours are available over the weekend. They also host a very intimate distillery experience each week where you can make your own bottle of gin and enjoy an evening with their Head Distiller.

They’re family-friendly, dog-friendly, and within walking distance of some amazing local breweries and eateries, so you can make a day of it when you visit.
