In the heart of the Channel Islands, where history lingers in the sea breeze and tradition is as enduring as the tides Islands Sprits stands as a testament to the region’s deep-rooted passion for fine spirits. This is more than a distillery—it is a story of family, heritage, and a love affair with flavour that spans over a century.
The Wheadon family has been Island purveyors and producers of fine spirits since 1865, with each generation adding to the island’s rich tapestry of craftsmanship. Today, Luke Wheadon, a fifth-generation spirits maker, carries this proud legacy forward, blending time-honoured traditions with a flair for innovation. What began as a pursuit of excellence in liquor trading has evolved into an art form—one that Luke has perfected, bottle by bottle.
At Island Spirts the past meets the present in the most remarkable of settings. On Jersey, the Sail Loft Distillery hums with creativity, while in Guernsey, the Vivier Bunker, a WWII relic nestled by the harbour, has been transformed into a sanctuary of craftsmanship. This echoes the resilience of the islands themselves—where history is preserved, but never at the expense of forward-thinking innovation.
True to the Wheadon family’s legacy, every spirit is a celebration of the islands’ unique botanicals and coastal influences. Rock samphire, hand-foraged from Guernsey’s cliffs, and citrus grown in local greenhouses bring a distinctive touch to our Wheadon’s Gin, while their Indica Rum is an ode to bold experimentation, perfectly balanced with hints of oak and spice.
With a keen respect for tradition but an ever-curious approach to flavour, Luke and his team continue to push the boundaries of distillation, ensuring that each sip of Island Spirits tells a story—one of family, island heritage, and the relentless pursuit of perfection.
For those who seek more than just a drink, but a journey through time and taste, raise a glass to the Wheadons, to the islands, and to the next chapter in this extraordinary tale. Where there’s a Legacy in every drop.
