CSR Rum came to life in the 1980's, when Baron Edmund de Rothschild established a distillery in St. Kitts and set out to create something truly unique.

The Caribe Ginger Smith is plenty nice as it is, especially if you like your rum cocktail a bit on the refreshingly sweet side.

Aged 10 years, Yolo Gold is plenty smooth for sipping, with a nice finish that's heavy on the vanilla with very little burn. It's solid, sophisticated.

Barbados might not seem naughty, but we know better. One taste of the Dirty Barbados cocktail featuring Real McCoy 5 Year Old Rum and you'll understand.

Rhum Neisson stands out among the already outstanding collection of Martinique rhums for its excellent quality. Bio Esprit takes things to another level.

I had every intention of behaving myself. Travel with the wife engenders such restraint.
