Homemade Rum essence flavouring.

Thought I'd put this here for any discussion as it worked so well for me. Also posted in the molasses thread.
Try this.
100ml hot dunder from a molasses wash (make whatever quantity you like by scaling up).
100ml good neutral or hearts cut from the wash.
Put dunder into a glass bottle, preferably tall and slim, and wait until cool. Add the neutral and place into the fridge to settle. Let sit for a week or two. Longer the better.
Carefully syphon the essence off the solids that have settled out.
Add to 1 liter of hearts or neutral however you want to get light to dark rum. 5 - 10 ml for light (will be very light brown), 20 - 30 for medium (golden) or 50 - 60 for dark rum. My mum loves it.
Allow bottle to settle, as it will go cloudy, and either syphon or carefully filter the solids out of the bottle. Not my recipe but can't remember where I got it.
If you don't want to make a huge batch of rum for a little dunder just ferment out a miniscule wash and then boil in a pot to get the dunder.
The smell of the rum this essence makes is amaaaaaazing! I just had to keep going back for a sniff.
