The adulteration of spirits, especially rum, with sugar and other unlabeled additives is not new. Thanks to ALKO, the Swedes a few rums were finally revealed. Then came the amazing Johnny Drejer whose pioneering method changed the whole ball game. Distillers can no longer hide their illegal and deceptive use of sugar. Read all about it and see if your rum has been altered...

The Master Sugar List may be reproduced and used by anyone, but only in its entirety - including this link:
/viewtopic.php?t=1683


Note: the Master Sugar List has now been divided into two halves, as the number of tests has grown to 1.672 and now requires two posts. Since both posts reference the other (A-L, M-Z), so the above link alone is just fine!


Note: the compiliation of all the world's rum sugar tests were performed by ALKO, the Swedes and Johnny Drejer, as so noted. Compiling ALL tests into a single source will benefit all those trapped in the world of Rogue Rum. Caveat: I do not guarantee the accuracy of any test, nor my typing skills. The tests by ALKO and the Swedes can be considered very precise; those by Johnny Drejer are also quite accurate. Also included are hydro-based tests performed by Moi, Cyril, the Pirate (amazing), dawsonh, mamajuana and soon from rum lovers everywhere, as submitted for "The Great Sugar Test". Blowgunner recently submitted a bunch of good hydro tests in March of 2020, a big thanks[/u]! All have been updated in 2021, including reports from Rumprojectboy. A big thanks to all.

These latter are of course subject to error, so please point out any aberrations which the testers will gladly repeat...


Late Breaking News: By request (mine) we are now including tests of Canadian Whisky, which by the regs may include up to 9.09% of what are called "flavouring spirits" (ANY other spirit, domestic or imported) and/or wine! If sugar solids are reported, these may be due by unlawful sugaring, or may reflect the sugar content of the flavouring spirits or sweet wines added. In any event the results indicate unexpected sugar solids.

Total Tests: 1309!

Special Note: Be SURE to use your "Search" function and/or look under "Ron"; for example you may find both "Botran" and/or "Ron Botran". The ALKO tests show two numbers, eg 1/3. The first is sugar, the second are "extractives" other than sugar. All other listings show sugar as a single value or as a range, eg "0" or "0-5". All numbers, eg "5" reference grams of sugar solids.[/i] [/color]
