Dillon

The company's origins are historically linked to an old habitation sucrière in the Fort-de-France area; the Maison has documented roots dating back to the 18th century and the official site indicates the house's activity from 1779. During the 20th century the site shifted from a sugar operation to the production of rhum agricoles. The distillery has been acquired over time by industry groups (the brand's commercial history is also connected to Bardinet and later the La Martiniquaise group). In 2006 on-site distillation was suspended and Dillon's distillation column was transferred to the Depaz distillery for production; the rhums continue to be aged and stored in Dillon's historic facilities in Fort-de-France.

To highlight Martinican terroir and the quality of the cane's "pur jus": the Maison follows the AOC Martinique specification for its rhum agricoles and states environmental commitments such as reducing water consumption, limiting chemical inputs and recycling cane residues.
