Tampa’s first craft rum distillery opens in Seminole Heights

82 West is the newest addition to Seminole Heights; this craft rum distillery is adding a whole new spirit to the neighborhood.

The minds behind Twisted Sun Rum and The Still in the Heights have created a chic space to unwind with one of Florida’s favorite drinks. 82 West owners started distilling out of a garage, but both harbored dreams of expanding to a bigger space.
