Privateer distillers drawer New England Lot No. 1

One of the best smelling rums I've ever had the pleasure of. Nose: this reminds me of sweet chrysanthemum tea, brown sugar baked apple, and brown sugar syrup or breakfast butter syrup. Early on, I noticed a floral, musky, cologne-like quality to this also. It just smells delicious. Taste: I would describe my first sip as having an extremely floral-like quality. First sip, I noticed nothing but rose water for the first several seconds followed by oak. Second sip and after, I noticed brown sugar syrup followed by black tea and sugar. After the first sip, I didn't get as much rose water anymore. With a long sip, I noticed a pancakes-with-butter-syrup quality to this, with all the full flavors one might associate with warm, rich, pan-cooked, buttery pancakes. Just fantastic
