What people are saying…
Knowledgeable people making a superior spirit
Chanced upon this joint so stopped in. I'm not a big fan of rum, but I'm also not one to say no to free samples. Tried both white and dark rums, both very good. The barender knew alot about making spirits and provided me much information. When he blended the two rums, well that there was the cats pajamas. Excellent taste. ~ markesolomon via TripAdvisor
