Connecticut Distributors, Inc. (CDI) launched two new spirit offerings in August, timed for the season: Crown Royal Vanilla and Captain Morgan Jack-O’Blast. The Crown Royal Vanilla is blended from hand-selected Crown Royal whiskies and infused with Madagascar bourbon vanilla, offering an “oaky whisky aroma and a crème brulee aftertaste” for sipping and in cocktails. The limited-time offering of Jack-O’Blast is a seasonal, pumpkin spiced rum in a pumpkin-themed bottle.
