Fun fact about rum. First, that was my main fix for 30 years.
About 6 months ago I made some molasses cookies and it was the first time I had a jar of the stuff in the house. Ended up REALLY digging the aroma and taste of it. It's sinfully sweet and all but there was something else.
Come to find out, molasses is basically the 'resin' you get leftover after distilling rum. I'm not getting any booze buzz but my brain sure is familiar with that particular sugar/dopamine rush.
Too bad it's so fleeting.
