Ok....now I'm having to think too hard, so I went and pulled out 3 Bay Rum examples from PAA. Pineapple Bay Rum, Space Nog, and Atomic Age Bay Rum (AABR). All 3 stand on their own and are different. Take the lid off, big whiff, think on it. Wait 30-45 seconds, move to the next bottle. Repeat....
Pineapple Bay Rum - Juicy Fruit Gum, the aroma when opening a fresh package, near perfect match to my nose (and yes, I have JF gum around all the time)
Space Nog - Bright citrus sweet, can't really get a distinction between orange/lemon/lime. If I have to choose, I'd go with a mandarin orange aroma, but tangy & sweet. Then there's the familiar PAA AABR base.
Atomic Age Bay Rum - nothing but deep 'oak' woodsy barrel aged Bay Rum
What I should do.....is go get a nice adult beverage Rum to mix in with our leftover Egg Nog for a better comparison

. It's a long running holiday tradition for wifey and me around the holidays, spiked with her Father's favorite addition, brandy. Rum would be a different option, and go well with our next Pirates of the Caribbean episode in the next day or two.
