Ace Distributing showcased its portfolio of international beverages at the fourth annual Indian American Package Store Association of Connecticut (IAPSACT) cricket tournament and summer social at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Club in East Hartford on Aug. 10. The Ace team put a spotlight on its diverse Indian spirits collection. Visitors were treated to a tasting journey that included Old Monk, an Indian dark rum brand launched in 1855, first produced in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. The range included tastes of Old Monk 10000 Beer, 7 Years Old Rum, The Legend Rum, Supreme XXX Rum, Coffee XO Rum and Amber Rum. Expanding beyond India’s heritage spirits, Ace also featured Hodori Soju, a premium Korean spirit known for its crisp, clean finish, as well as SD Cordials from Italy, delivering vibrant and authentic flavors. Rounding out the lineup was the award-winning Dutchcraft Vodka, celebrated for its exceptional smoothness and purity. “From bold, time-honored classics to modern favorites, Ace Distributing’s presence at IAPSACT 2025 was a celebration of craftsmanship, culture and quality from around the globe,” said the company.
