| Applies to | Rum |
Many rums contain added sugar, caramel colour, or flavouring even when the label implies otherwise. Some designations of origin formally restrict additives — yet independent lab testing (measuring residual sugar) frequently finds it anyway, as with Pampero Aniversario.
Additives aren’t inherently dishonest — they’re a stylistic choice. The problem is disclosure: buyers rarely know what’s been done to the liquid before it reaches them.
