Connecticut Distributors, Inc. (CDI), welcomed representatives from Diageo for a November sales meeting to learn about Diageo’s recent acquisition of 21 Seeds Tequila. The teams were taken through a brand training and tasting of the all-natural, craft-infused tequila made with real fruit in three flavors: Grapefruit Hibiscus, Valencia Orange and Cucumber Jalapeño, ending the session with a spicy cucumber jalapeño margarita. After the tasting, top sales performers for Diageo in CDI’s New England, Diamond and Vanguard divisions were recognized individually for recent sales efforts and presented with a commemorative bottle of Crown Royal Aged 18 Years Extra Rare Blended Canadian Whisky.
