Hey folks - I wasn't sure where to put this thread, so I figured the general area is as good as any.

I live in the Boston, MA area (Waltham, specifically), and I've had a rough time over the years finding a lot of higher end rums to add to my home bar. Even just finding a nice Demerara is tricky, and MA still has some very old school, backward laws about alcohol shipping, as far as I'm aware, so ordering online isn't an option. There are some great, large liquor stores around for sure (for instance, Total Wine in Framingham is massive, but their rum selection isn't super impressive), but I guess I just haven't found that shining tiki diamond in the New England rough.

Are there any local people who have any good tips/info on the best "packies" to find some nicer rum or the like? I'm all ears to anything in the greater New England area. Many thanks in advance!
