New England Distilling Eight Bells Rum

This rum has something special on the nose and palate. On the first try, I got some musk, probably oak and was over the aroma of chocolate and molasses. The same muskiness was on the palate, with a little more chocolate. The finish was smooth, but short, too short. When I drink this rum, I think of a Japanese Whisky called Kamiki, which is matured on cedar casks and has an overwhelming cedar presence on the nose and palate.

Honeycomb wax and sweet lemons. Mild vanilla and coconut. Honeydew. Closest flavors I've had to Central American style.
