In 1955 Moon Distributing purchased CentralDistributors.

“Moon and Central distribute a separate product line, and we’re delighted to be the newest addition to Central’s portfolio of fine spirits,”notes Jim Amstutz, national sales director south, Global Spirits USA, LLC.  “Central distributes in all wet areas of the state, which will give us significant distribution.”

Khortytsa is poised to gain traction in Arkansas.

“Khortytsa is a quality vodka at a terrific price point that is growing rapidly,” said Amstutz.  “It is particularly popular with cost-conscious Millennial consumers.”

Ukraine’s famed Khortytsa (Hor-Ti-Tsa) Distillery is among the world’s best distilleries and located in Zaporozhe near Khortytsa Island. This ancient island’s history dates back thousands of years and reaches the roots of civilization. It is considered a sacred place in Ukraine and is of the country’s seven wonders.

Built in 2003, the Khortytsa Distillery is among the world’s finest distilleries.
