Introduction
Dillon's Orange Bitters is an artisanal cocktail ingredient originating from Canada, specifically produced in Beamsville, Ontario, in the heart of the Niagara wine region. Founded in 2012 by Geoff Dillon, the distillery is known for its commitment to 'honest spirits', utilizing traditional copper pot stills and local ingredients whenever possible. The winemaking philosophy—or in this case, the distilling approach—focuses on small-batch production that highlights the region's natural bounty by using a base spirit derived from 100% locally grown Niagara grapes.
Wine Description
The Dillon's Orange Bitters presents an aromatic profile of fresh, juicy orange and lemon. The nose is complex and zesty, offering scents of sweet and bitter orange peel accented by floral verbena and exotic spices like black cardamom. On the palate, the bitters are vibrant and mid-sweet, delivering balanced flavours of citrus and juniper with smoky overtones and a subtle warmth from red peppercorns. It is characterized by its layered complexity and a clean, aromatic finish. This product is crafted from a blend of diverse orange varieties, gentian root, and other botanicals. The ABV is 50%. While the distillery sources the purest, often organic, ingredients from leading growers, this specific product is not certified organic. It is intended for immediate use and adds significant depth to a variety of spirits.
Food Pairing
The vibrant citrus and botanical notes of these bitters make them an essential and versatile addition to the bar and kitchen. They pair perfectly with rye-based drinks, gin, and vodka, and are considered a 'must-have' for completing a classic Old Fashioned or a White Negroni. In terms of broader pairings, the orange notes harmonise well with ingredients such as mezcal, dark chocolate, and ginger. They can also be used in culinary applications to brighten up vinaigrettes or to add a zesty, bitter complexity to fruit-based desserts.
