Dairy Distillery

Dairy Distillery, located in Almonte, Ontario, is a pioneering Canadian company that transforms milk by-products into unique spirits. Founded by Omid McDonald, the distillery began its journey in 2016 by creating vodka from milk permeate, a lactose-rich dairy by-product. This innovative approach led to the development of Vodkow, a line of spirits known for their creamy mouthfeel and touch of sweetness. The company also produces lactose-free cream liqueurs using fresh Canadian cream.

In addition to its spirits, Dairy Distillery has expanded its product line to include hand sanitizer and is working on developing low-carbon ethanol from milk permeate. The company’s commitment to sustainability and reducing waste in the dairy industry has earned it recognition and partnerships, such as with the Michigan Milk Producers Association. Canadians can purchase Dairy Distillery’s products online or visit their store in Almonte, where they can also experience tours and tastings.
