Boston and Medford use to be the rum producing capitols of the world. Yup, it is true. Google it, I will wait….
So in that great tradition, we now see many locally made rums popping up. They are the highest quality products, and often spice forward in flavor.
In the past, rums used spice to hide flaws where today, they shine and complement great products. Here are three of our favorites.

Flag Hill Winery and Distillery
Signature Spiced Rum

If you like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain, this rum is for you, The vanilla will hit you hard without overwhelming you with sweetness. This would be great over ice, but if you put it in any mixed drink, it will stand out.
