A little bit about Granddad Jack’s Craft Distillery…
Built with up-cycled materials, this old surfboard warehouse has been converted to expose a raw, rustic, one-of-a-kind distillery. David & Luke Ridden are recreating age-old family recipes in memory of David’s grandfather and Luke’s great-grandfather, Granddad Jack. Each of our award-winning spirits is handcrafted, made from locally or nationally sourced raw materials, and 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 they seep through the oak barrels surrounding you.
We’re a family-friendly neighbourhood distillery in the backstreets of Burleigh and have helped to build the epic craft culture the Gold Coast is renowned for. Just a short 2-minute walk to the beach and surrounded by breweries, cafes and restaurants (and great people), you can quickly see why we’ve been landmarked as a ‘must-see’ destination on the Gold Coast. Come and see for yourself.
