Eau Claire Distillery Appoints Jamie Delia Vice President of Sales and Trade Marketing

TURNER VALLEY, ALBERTA, CANADA (July 22, 2025) – Eau Claire Distillery, one of Canada’s best-known craft distilleries, has appointed Jamie Delia to the role of Vice President of Sales and Trade Marketing, responsible for growing sales and distribution across Canada for the company’s award-winning whiskies, gins, vodkas, and ready-to-drink cocktails.

Prior to joining Eau Claire, Delia was Vice President of Sales–Canada for Casamigos Tequila where over her six years there she helped grow the brand by +600%, solidifying its place as the top-selling deluxe tequila in the country. Her career in the beverage alcohol industry also includes sales and marketing roles at Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits and in the hospitality sector in her hometown of Calgary.

“Consumers and bartenders continue to discover and appreciate our portfolio of high-quality farm-to-glass Canadian-produced spirits, but growing a craft brand requires a skillful and accomplished sales leader. That’s exactly what Jamie brings to Eau Claire with her extensive experience, strong relationships, and deep understanding of the diverse Canadian market,” says David Farran, Eau Claire Distillery’s Founder and CEO. “We’re very excited to welcome Jamie to the Eau Claire team!”

Two of the whiskies in the Eau Claire portfolio, Rupert’s Exceptional Whisky and Ploughman’s Whisky, recently earned Double Gold medals, each with a score of 95 points, at the influential 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. This is the fourth year in a row that the distillery’s flagship Rupert’s Exceptional Whisky has earned Double Gold in San Francisco, having also last year been named “Best in Class” with Platinum status (Double Gold medals three years in a row) by the competition’s panel of high-profile industry judges. Also, Eau Claire’s Parlour Gin recently earned an impressive 93 points from Wine Enthusiast (in the magazine’s August/September 2025 issue.)
