  1 1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/4 c  Unsalted butter; melted

  1 1/2 lb Cream cheese; room temp.
    3/4 c  Sugar
      2 tb Dark rum
      1 tb Brandy
      1 ts Vanilla extract
    1/2 ts Ground nutmeg
      3 lg Eggs; room temperature

  1 1/2 c  Sour cream
  1 1/2 tb Sugar
    1/4 ts Vanilla extract
      1 ts Ground cinnamon

  For Crust: Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 375 F. Grind
  graham crackers, sugar and ground cinnamon in processor. Transfer
  crumb mixture to medium bowl. Add butter and toss until evenly
  moistened. Press crumb mixture over bottom and 1-3/4 inches up sides
  of 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 2-3/4-inch-high sides. Freeze
  crust until cold, about 10 minutes.  Bake crust until beginning to
  brown, about 8 minutes. Transfer crust to rack and cool.
  
  For Filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl of electric
  mixer until very smooth.  Add dark rum, brandy, vanilla extract and
  ground nutmeg and beat to blend. Reduce speed to low. Add eggs 1 at a
  time, beating after each addition until just blended.  Spoon filling
  into crust. Bake until filling is puffed, very light brown and softly
  set in center, about 45 minutes.  Transfer cheesecake to rack and
  cool 30 minutes. (Center may fall slightly.)  Increase oven
  temperature to 400 F.
  
  For Topping:  In medium bowl whisk sour cream, sugar and vanilla
  extract to blend.  Pour mixture gently over cheesecake, filling
  center depression, and spread evenly to edges. Bake until set, about
  8 minutes. Transfer cheesecake to rack and cool.  Cover and
  refrigerate overnight.
  
  Cut around sides of pan to loosen.  Release pan sides. Sift ground
  cinnamon and nutmeg over cheesecake. Arrange cinnamon sticks in
  center and serve.
