New Dayton distillery sets opening date

Belle of Dayton, the region’s newest distillery at 122 Van Buren St. at Wayne Avenue in the Oregon Historic District, will host its grand opening from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. June 26, according to Belle of Dayton co-founder Michael K. LaSelle.

The distillery will offer samples of its Belle of Dayton Small Batch Vodka and will also have t-shirts and glassware for sale.

LaSelle and his two brothers, Tim and Murphy, will oversee the new distillery and tasting room. Plans call for producing old-style rum, bourbon and single-malt whiskey.

"We've been working on this for three or four years," Murphy LaSelle said last September. "We want to bring some of the distilling history back to Dayton."
