Tampa Bay Rum Company, Home of Gaspars Rum

Last Wednesday I took Carrie to the new rum distillery in Ybor City & Home of Gaspar’s Rum. Carrie didn’t really want to go but had a Great time. The very next day our sisters were in town overnight. Carrie insisted that we take the sisters the very next day! If you have not been there yet go now. You will see why this is such a great place to take visitors to. The cost to sample all the rums was only $12 and there is also a groupon for even less.

WOW to say he is very passionate is a huge understatement.  The meal was actually very good. Everybody should stop in for the Cephas experience just once. https://www.facebook.com/aloeforhealth/
