Odd enough to start you ruminating (3)
I believe the answer is:
rum
'odd' is the definition.
(rum can mean strange or dubious)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rum that I've seen before include "An odd kind of drink made from molasses" , "Odd, like sailor's drink" , "Droll" , "Funny" , "The spirit is peculiar" .)
