New Online Community Lets Users Explores, Buy/Sell Craft Spirits

The platform is now live and open to the public.

CSX offers its members a place to explore, share, rate and purchase the best craft spirits for at-home-delivery.

“More than just batch size, type of still or yearly production, these spirits have a unique story or heritage, often produced through innovative, artful or otherwise creative methods,” said Luis Troccoli, Founder and CEO, CSX.

CSX is designed as a complete online experience for both craft spirits enthusiasts and novices. By registering at www.drinkcsx.com, members can search for, purchase and review spirits from their desktop and mobile handheld devices.

The platform consists of:

• The CSX Community: With a focus on integrating content and community, CSX connects users with original and curated content, cocktail recipes, local and regional events, and an interactive platform to share reviews and tasting notes, according to the company.
• The CSX Marketplace: Craft Spirits Exchange works with spirits retailers to provide a single online destination for a broad selection of quality spirits, the company says.

“Consumers are more proactive than ever when it comes to their buying decisions,” said Stephen Gilberg, Chief Marketing Officer, CSX. “In a 2014 study, Jupiter Research found that 77% of people take the time to read product and service reviews before they make an online purchase. With this in mind, we saw a need in the market to create this type of community and shopping experience specifically for craft spirits.”
