Dillon is on the edge of Fort-de-France and is notable as one of the few working distilleries in the capital area. The Dillon estate is cited as dating to about 1690, though I could not confirm that against a primary source. Production is agricole rhum on column stills. The brand is tied to the Bardinet group in some sources, which I could not verify in detail, so this entry is low confidence overall.
