More deer than people
Jura has always been home to more deer than people. Which is how it got its name: ‘Diùra translates to Deer Island… which is where the story really starts.

Deer Island Distillers is our (Michael and Charlotte) only child and born out of a conversation we had back in 2019, where Michael quite simply said he loved rum and would like to try and make some one day, to which Charlotte replied ‘Ok let’s do that’. We then roped in our besties: Mark to do all the design work and Faye to be a taste tester and we got started. Amy joined the team in May 2021 as our first (formal) employee!

Our story is really just getting started so please keep visiting the website and follow us on Instagram and Facebook to keep up to date of what we are doing, both on the island and with product launches.

We hope to see you on the island soon.
