Hear ye, hear ye: The most complete rum sugar list...

[Capn Jimbo]

...is now even more complete...


Just finished the agonizing task of going through 19 pages of Swedish "rom" listings to extract all the sugar tests, effective 5 minutes ago. Accordingly, I've updated "The Complete List of Sugar Tests":

http://rumproject.com/rumforum//viewtopic.php?p=6966

It is fair to say that this is now the most complete listing on the net, and is comprised of the ALKO, Swedish, and Drejer tests - all of which may be considered accurate for our purposes.

Also included are Dave Russell's listings, but these are not reliable, as most of his listings of "0g" sugar are not based on actual testing, but are based on the notion that these "0g" rums come from countries that don't allow sugar. Thus he is assuming rums from those countries are sugar-free, i.e distillers never cheat, right?

Wrong. Now he does have a few rums reported with a range, eg 0-5g (these MAY reflect actual tests). Russell needs to distinguish real tests from those only assumed to be "0".

Good on you for taking the time to do that.
