Almost half a million dollars is coming to support a distillery in the Ottawa Valley.
Dairy Distillery out of Almonte, known for their signature Vodkow, has been given $455,000 to ramp up hand sanitizer production.
Thanks to the investment, Dairy Distillery will more than triple production allowing them to make 220,000 litres a year of sustainable alcohol for hand sanitizer. This move will save two million litres of sugar from being wasted each year, helping the environment and Ontario dairy farmers.
Dairy Distillery is aiming to have the additional capacity online by year-end.
Through the “buy one to give one” program, Dairy Distillery has donated over 30,000 bottles of hand sanitizer to local groups in need.
