Chuckle Engine

Chuckle Engine Spirit Company is a small-batch craft distillery based in Staffordshire, creating premium handcrafted gin, vodka and rum with character, creativity, and a touch of Victorian-inspired charm. Founded by former Nelson’s Distillery staff David and Sue Hunter, Chuckle Engine combines traditional distilling methods with carefully selected botanicals to produce refined spirits that are full of flavour and personality.

Born in the green Staffordshire countryside and inspired by a belief that spirits should be made properly – with care, quality and attention to detail – every bottle is distilled in small batches using traditional techniques and modern creativity. From botanical vodka and craft gin to smooth Caribbean-inspired rum, our spirits are designed for people who appreciate authentic craft distilling and distinctive flavour profiles.

The name “Chuckle Engine” reflects our philosophy of bottling a little joy alongside exceptional quality. Inspired by Victorian craftsmanship, engineering and invention, we believe life is too short for dull drinks. Every spirit we create is made to raise a smile as much as a glass.

As a Staffordshire craft distillery, we are proud to support local markets, artisan events and the region’s growing independent food and drink scene. Alongside our spirits, we also offer hands-on craft distilling experiences in Staffordshire, where guests can create their own bespoke gin, rum, or vodka using over 40 botanicals under the guidance of experienced distillers.

Whether you’re searching for Staffordshire gin, small-batch vodka, artisan rum, or a unique distillery experience in Staffordshire, Chuckle Engine Spirit Company is dedicated to producing spirits with craftsmanship, character and a proper sense of fun.
