It all starts at the "Girardin" house with a sugar refinery that has grown from generation to generation.
One of the owners' daughters, Marie-Francoise Laure ("Marie-Laure" de Girardin marries a tale, the
Levassor tale of La Touche de Longpre, lieutenant of Vaisseau du Roy.
The tale dies, and the Countess de la Touche then becomes a widow (at the age of 28).
Some time later, Marie Laure de Girardin welcomes the Dillon Regiment on the road to the American
independence war and falls in love with the colonel named Arthur Dillon.
Arthur Dillon came from a long dynasty of valiant fighters for France since the 12th century.
The Dillon regiment is an Irish regiment which wars against the English under Louis 14, Louis 15, Louis
16.
In 1767 ARTHUR becomes a tale.
When the War of Independence began in America, Arthur DILLON volunteered to accompany LA FAYETTE.
He then left for Martinique to lead various fights and found between the battles the widow De La Touch,
in the Girardin house.
Arthur Dillon then decides to settle in Martinique and marries Marie Laure Girardin who becomes
Countess Dillon and with whom he will have a daughter, Fanny Dillon.
Together they develop the Dillon distillery in the heart of Fort de France.
The DILLON distillery has survived the centuries and withstood countless bad weather and cyclones.
Nowadays, DILLON agricultural rums are recognized in many countries for their exceptional quality.
