St Kitts / Rum
Like many Caribbean islands, St Kitts has a long tradition of rum production. Until recently the island had all the molasses it needed from the sugar that grew all over the northern part of the island. Now it distils with imported molasses. Kittitian rums include Brinley Gold, which has a shop in Port Zante (see below), CSR (from Cane Spirit Rothschild, actually no longer produced but still available) and local white rum Belmont Rum.
St Kitts Rum Company & Rum Shoppe, Port Zante - Brinley Gold Rum is a family-owned brand of rums that is blended and bottled in St Kitts and then sold in the St Kitts Rum Shoppe. Launched in 2002, the award-winning range comes in a number of flavours including vanilla, coffee, mango and toffee. There are free rum tasting sessions in the shop in Port Zante.
