Their website doesn't have it yet. http://www.imbibemagazine.com Some details: "Over the last 30 years he has amassed what is believed to be the world's largest private collection of rum, with around 1,300 bottles representing more than 800 varieties." "Remsberg keeps a copy of the [Don the}Beachcomber"s 1940 rum list next to his bar. 'I'm trying to re-create that rum collection," he says. 'Now I'm mostly looking for antiques, the majority of which would be pre-World WarII.'" "'I don't think Stephen's a collector; what he does goes beyond collecting,' says Jeff Berry... When you go to his house his house and look at his shelves, it's not a collection on display; it's more a museum of rum.'"
