GEOFF DILLON THE DISTILLER
Geoff’s fascination for spirits began early. He was highly influenced by his fathers passion for fine spirits and his worldly spirits and whisky collection.
His distilling journey began at the University of Western Ontario, where he earned honors in a double major in biology and economics. His experience only furthered as he trained abroad (in areas such as Scotland, London UK, and US) while educating himself in the art of distilling.
Eventually, Niagara lured Geoff home as the ideal place to put down some roots. Small-town friendliness, abundant fruit, a close proximity to neighbouring wineries and a well established wine culture — the region was a perfect fit
