It’s been a while between JAM blogs.
And JAM social media has been pretty quiet lately…
You must be wondering, “What has JAM been up to?”
Well, we can tell you we’ve been busy, like really busy.
WHISKY
All JAM Distilling supporters would surely know that a huge part of the JAM Distilling dream involves Australian single malt whisky. So guess what, we’ve started brewing and preparing the bond store to slowly mature our first whisky cask.
We can imagine, somewhere in Kentucky USA right now is a cooper dragging one of their bourbon single-fill American oak casks over to their shipping yard and slapping a ‘Deliver to JAM Distilling Australia’ sticker on the side and waving farewell.
We can’t wait to meet it.
Even more, we can’t wait to throw our JAM Single Malt new make whisky spirit into it. Which, of course, won’t be a run of the mill whisky. We’ve been building our own signature JAM grain bill that can craft our own unique single malt distillate.
More on that later…
MARKETS
Don’t worry yourself – Our first child (Signature Gin) is not being neglected as we shift focus to whisky. We’ve managed to squeeze a batch of 2-row SA barley through the mash tun and are applying our (now very familiar) triple distilling techniques.
And – we’ve listened.
We know that people have missed out on our first gin releases. So we’ve changed our approach this time to making market-ready grab-and-go 200ml bottle sizes. Perfect to take for an afternoon catchup with friends.
So keep your eyes peeled on our socials for some local market events we’ll be hitting real soon coming into Gin season! (AKA spring & summer).
CHICKENS
Pretty obvious right? Gin, whisky, and chickens. 🐤
Well for a grain-to-glass distillery that creates its own base spirit from scratch, yep, you get to know your local chickens. We are proud of our waste management practices. All our waste products are high in nutrients, and end up on our sweet green lush lawns (and the neighbours have noticed 👀).
But the spent grain (used during the mashing process) has another destination.
Some local hobby farms have been enjoying some free feed, and some of our biggest fans are now of the feathered variety!
So we were very pleased to hear when our sponsored JAM chickens had produced some offspring:
Introducing, Juniper, Rose-Bud, Coriander, and Citrus-Peel.
We’re not sure if they’re thrilled with their names – but we definitely are.
Take care JAMily.
