During the month of June, Craft Beer Guild of Connecticut Spirits Specialist David Blanck highlighted selections from the North Haven-based distributor’s craft spirits division, Blueprint Spirits. Portfolio selections were showcased at a variety of Hartford area retailers and on-premise accounts, including Parkview Wine & Spirits in West Hartford, Harvest Wine & Spirits in Elmwood, Enfield Liquor & Wine and Taprock Beer Bar & Refuge in Unionville. Award-winning Dulce Vida Tequila offers an organic, 100% blue agave tequila handcrafted in Los Altos, Highlands, Mexico. Dulce Vida Agave Blanco Tequila is also available in infused expressions of Pineapple, Lime and Grapefruit. Infuse Spirits produces award-winning craft vodka infused with real fruits and spices and is based in Los Angeles, California. Wyoming Whiskey offers small batch bourbon whiskies from a family-owned distillery in the Big Horn Basin of Wyoming. Gin Mare is a Spanish gin featuring Mediterranean flavors with four principal botanicals: basil, thyme, rosemary and, uniquely, the Arbequina olive.
