S3-E3 | Australian Craft Distilleries: Husk Distillers (Ink Gin) & Granddad Jack's Craft Distillery
Episode 3
Tuesday, 22 June, 2021

David Box & John Deeks head to NSW and then into QLD. So firstly they chat by phone - due to that awful virus - with Harriett Messenger. Harriett is part of the family behind Husk Distillers, along with dad Paul and his wife Mandy Perkins. Based in North Tumbulgum, in northern NSW, Husk are most known for their Ink Gin, however rum also inspires the Husk team. Like whisky, rum must be aged before release, so while waiting for maturation, gin can help the cash rolling in and with Ink Gin they hit upon a winner. From there, the guys head across the border to the Gold Coast, specifically Miami, to chat to David Ridden from Granddad Jack's Craft Distillery. We also discuss the business with son Luke, who has taken on distiller duties. For everything gin, as well as a copy of David's book, "Australian Gin" and Aussie Gin tasting packs, Advent Calendars and much more, visit gintonica.com.au.
