Very interesting! http://www.refinedvices.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=485&p=2515#p2515 Assuming these values are accurate -- and I think we have to take them with a grain of salt -- it's interesting to compare the different rums. El Dorado 12 -- notorious for being sweetened (and delicious!) -- is reported to have 45 grams of sugar per liter of spirit. That would be 33.75 grams for a 750ml bottle -- or just over 8 teaspoons of sugar in a bottle. That would seem to exceed the TTB's regulations by over 100%. But are they really paying attention to rum? God help me, but it tastes good...
