Crafted by Coastline. Defined by Character

Channel Islands Liquor Co. was founded on a simple idea: to create bold, distinctive spirits that capture the essence of our island home.

It all began in 2015, when our founder, Luke Wheadon, set up a small 2L copper still with a mission to distil a gin that embodied the wild beauty and coastal character of Guernsey and Jersey. What started as a passion project soon gained momentum, leading to the creation of our first flagship spirit: Rock Samphire & Pink Grapefruit Gin.

Inspired by the success of this unique flavour, we continued to push the boundaries of distillation, crafting gins and rums that reflect both provenance and innovation. Today, we operate out of two distilleries—each with its own identity and story.

Two Islands, Two Distilleries

The Sail Loft, Jersey
Nestled on the Jersey coastline, the Sail Loft Distillery is where we craft our experimental rums, signature gins, and limited editions. This space is dedicated to creativity—whether it’s aging spirits in unique casks or infusing botanicals in new ways.

The Vivier Bunker, Guernsey
In the heart of St Peter Port, our Vivier Bunker Distillery occupies a historic WWII-era bunker on Castle Pier. Once built to store fuel, this space has been transformed into a hub of gin production, tastings, and storytelling—bridging the island’s past with the future of spirits.

Both locations are open for distillery tours, tastings, and private events, where guests can experience the craft of spirits-making firsthand.
