Distillery

The distilling industry is that part of the food and beverage industries engaged in clarifying, flavouring, blending and aging alcohol to make potable spirits (eg, brandeis, grain spirits, rum) and establishments which manufacture ethyl alcohol, whether they are or are not used in potable spirits.

Manufacturers of methyl, butyl or isopropyl alcohol are considered part of the chemical industries. The distilling industry is a world-class multinational industry; in fact, Canadian distilled spirits products are internationally renowned for quality and consistency.
