Many artisan and small batch distilleries across Canada are stepping up and offering their alcohol to their customers or local organizations. The list will be updated as quickly and often as possible.
Here is the WHO-recommended Handrub Formulations (PDF) for making hand-sanitizer.
What are Distillers Producing?
Many distilleries are selling or giving away what are normally waste alcohols (called “heads” or “tails”). This alcohol should be used for disinfecting surfaces only, and skin contact should be avoided. These are poisonous and most definitely not safe for consumption.
The only alcohol which should be considered safe for direct skin contact is ethanol. It needs to be above 60% ABV. Ethanol is the alcohol that all consumable spirits are made from.
You can also look for denatured alcohol, which is usually ethanol with additives to make it non-consumable.
Aloe is needed to produce the typical ‘hand sanitizer’ gel, and it’s difficult to source right now. If you have some or know of a source consider reaching out to your local distillery.

A note About Contacting Distilleries
Many distillers are prioritizing medical professionals and other front-line workers in distributing their supply, and may not have much available for sale to the general public. Please have patience and understanding,.
Many distillers are very small operations and may not have the resources to respond to your inquiries quickly.
