Spirits from Waterbury-based Connecticut Distilling were highlighted during a tasting at Branford’s Coastal Wine & Spirits on Dec. 19. Anthony DeSerio, Regional Brand Ambassador, Connecticut Distilling, was in attendance to provide brand education for shoppers on spirits from its line, including Waterville Vodka, Drops, Blueberry Fields Blueberry Flavored Rum, Fort Hill Bourbon Whiskey and Charred. The Connecticut Distilling’s spirits line takes repurposed beer from local breweries to create its flagship spirits using green practices and ingredients, including the compounds that are often left over from the beer brewing process, including sugars, fermented beer and yeast. Founded by CoreBev Group’s Stelios Stavrianos, Founder and CEO, and Dimitrios Zahariadis, Chief Operations Officer, the company’s Head Distiller is Brandon Collins. DeSerio also showcased CoreBev Groups’s Kavo Greek Island Rum. All of its spirits are in distribution by Connecticut Distributors, Inc.
