Got milk? Almonte’s Dairy Distillery does, and they’re happy to share with you! If you’re wondering how spirits can be made from milk, when it comes to craft alcohol anything goes, including distilling one of the world’s favourite beverages, cow’s milk.
Dairy Distillery is a state-of-the-art craft distillery that transforms unused milk sugar into delicious spirits called Vodkow. The distillery features gorgeous German made copper stills proudly displayed in its all glass front facade.
The concept of distilling milk into alcohol isn’t new; fermented milk has been around for more than 1,000 years, and today is a hot new trend in the craft alcohol world. At the cutting-edge Dairy Distillery you can find out how they use science to transform milk by-product into an incredible tasting spirit, Vodkow.
Dairy Distillery offers a full range of our Vodkow lactose-free cream liquors and our milk sugar vodka, as well our attached bar offers craft cocktails and food is available from the onsite food truck, La Vida.
If you’re not sure what to expect from Vodkow, you’ll be pleasantly surprised with this smooth, delicious spirit that offers a highly unique flavour profile. Vodkow needs to be experienced to truly appreciate the smoothness and complexity of this cutting-edge product.
