Just bought a bottle of pic related for 32 bucks. tastes great and claims that its 12 years old. I know the claims on rum can be kind of dodgy and refuse to believe its that smooth without some kind of additive. Anyone know how much sugar is in a bottle of diplomatico reserva exclusivo? I cant find any info anywhere
Swedish government requires a listing of sugar content in rum, this is pulled off their government liquor website.

That's a lot of fucking sugar

I think smoothness comes from blending with older things as much as this additive theory. I wouldn't worry. If you like drinking it, continue on.
NO ONE drinks rum and worries about sugar. It's a sugar drink. If you are overly worried about your carbs or your hangovers, and you drink like a fish, you switch to vodka and lighten up your mixers. It's as simple as that.

solid point, i guess even the most sugary rums have less sugar by volume than coca cola

fuck its basically a liqueur at that point. i feel duped

I'm actually surprised at how little sugar is in a lot of those.
1-8 grams per litre is nothing when Coke has 108g per litre.
I'm curious if there's actually any good rum, as in stuff you could drink without mixing.
I get it's made from sugar, but do they all just taste like syrup or should I give up?
Did the math, at that amount of sugar per liter, each shot contains 2.05 grams of added sugar which is barely anything. Given the great taste of this rum I have to say it's pretty good! I still don't believe it's really aged 12 years but for 30 bucks you can definitely sip it. Anyone else have any good sipping runs or tequilas to suggest?

currently sippin on this. Really smooth, affordable, i really like it.

considering a can of coke has 31 g, it's not too bad.
