Starting a Distillery During a Pandemic (@STILLinCANADA Interview)| Silver Fox Distillery (3x18)

:

I sit down with Mark Townsend, one of the owners of Silver Fox Distillery in Ontario, Canada. Mark is also the Master Distiller at Silver Fox Distillery. You may be familiar with his Youtube channel @STILLinCANADA which documents his journey establishing the distillery. In February 2020, Silver Fox Distillery started selling its spirits to the public. Two weeks later, Ontario went into its first lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, Mark had just finished production on his first batch of new make spirit for whiskey. However, he and his wife decided to donate this spirit to make hand sanitizer to help front line workers in their fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Let's hear how the new distillery has been coping during this period and dive a little deeper into Mark's background.
