OCDA MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: DILLON'S SMALL BATCH DISTILLERS

Becoming a distiller and creating Dillon’s Small Batch Distillers is the result of inspirational people, Canadian pride, and a love of fine spirits.  The other inspiration comes from the current state of Canadian spirits and the sentiment that Canadian Whisky no longer carries the same significance it once did.  Dillon’s simple belief however is that craft producers like Dillon’s (and the OCDA members) are the answer to this.

Dillon’s is truly a family affair. Peter Dillon is Geoff Dillon’s father who is married to Gary Huggins daughter. The three (naturally) built a distillery in the Niagara Region's 'Twenty Valley' - a perfect location - based upon proximity to the highest quality local fruits and grains.  Pure, simple, humble, local ingredients that ensure consumers know exactly what they’re paying for.

What truly defines the brand however is honesty and transparency. The result is interesting, unique, small batch artisanal products - that you simply can’t find anywhere else.  Dillon’s is handcrafted with you in mind, one batch at a time.  But don’t take their word for it. Take a look at the accolades Dillon’s has garnered (below), including:

Gold Medal – 2013 San Francisco World Spirits Competition 
Bronze Medal – 2013 San Francisco World Spirits Competition
