Campari USA showcased its spirits portfolio in Connecticut among three spring events, collaborating with local brand presenter, bartender and beverage industry expert Anthony DeSerio. The first event featured the Appleton rum portfolio at The Owl Shop in New Haven, where rum fans learned about Appleton Estate Signature Jamaica Rum, 8 Year Old Reserve, 12 Year Old Rare Casks and 15 Year Old Black River Casks. Two in-store tastings at CT Beverage Mart’s Wallingford and Newington locations featured Russell’s Reserve 10 Year Old Bourbon and Grand Marnier for shoppers. Russell’s Reserve 10 Year Old Bourbon is a small-batch bourbon offering a bouquet of vanilla spice followed by rich, creamy toffee on the palate. It finishes quickly with a touch of sweetness. Created in 1880 by Louis-Alexandre Marnier Lapostolle, Grand Marnier offers a premium blend of Cognacs with wild tropical oranges from the Caribbean.
