Understanding these terms
General explanations of the terms above — these describe the concepts, not this specific bottle.
What does cask information tell you?
The cask a rum is aged in (for example ex-bourbon or ex-sherry oak) shapes colour and flavour. WhatDrink reports the published cask information; it is a production fact, not a measure of quality.
What does dosage / additive status mean?
Some rums disclose added sugar or other permitted additives (dosage). WhatDrink reports the exact published dosage/additive status. The absence of a disclosure is NOT evidence that a rum is additive-free or sugar-free.
What raw material is rum made from?
Rum is distilled from sugarcane products — typically molasses or fresh sugarcane juice (and sometimes cane honey). The published raw material is a factual production detail, not a quality ranking.

About the category
About rum (category)
Rum is a spirit distilled from sugarcane products — molasses, cane syrup or fresh sugarcane juice. Under EU rules it is bottled at a minimum of 37.5% ABV, may not add flavouring, and permits only limited sweetening. This describes the rum category, not any single bottle.
