Silver Fox Distillery is owned by Mark and Lisa Townsend and began operations in 2020. Due to the time he spent at Cape Breton, Mark had a basic knowledge of distilleries worked which helped set the distillery up for the couple.

The distillery name was picked to represent nature and the couple. Thus began their journey of turning a campfire idea for a distillery into one of Ontario’s larger craft distilleries. Despite the eventual success, the distillery had a rough start because as soon as they started operating, the Covid-19 pandemic hit and forced them to turn their 5000L of whiskey into sanitizer to be donated.

Thankfully, they were able to come out of it and create award-winning beverages such as White Lightning which has corn, oats, and white mixed with 100-proof spirit.
