Thanks for all the information. The reason I asked was I, as my nom de plume suggests, have been working hard to gather all the ingrediants needed to make okolehao and one of the ingredients is simply 'cane sugar'. I'm guessing that turbinado is what my recipe is calling for since it would give the oke a more complicated rum like flavor. I also think since it was originally a back woods moonshine it probably was made with the cheaper and more easily obtained raw sugar, especially since it was probably made by sugar cane workers.
