Could lead to heartburn Sugar 0-5 GPL. As with the big brother 20 year old version, this has a great aroma. That's where the great ends and the not so great takes over.

Appleton Estate Special Gold

Basic Beach Bar Rum Sugar 0 GPL. Should be in a thin bottle to match the thin taste. Use a mixer, and with the thin taste you will need to add a bit more than usual.

Another variation on basic Bar rum Sugar 0-5 GPL. Well, it's better than the Bacardi white rums, but not for use other than in volume servings of rum with mix. You need to add a lot

Dos Maderas 5+3

Barrel Wash Sugar: estimated at 14 -16 GPL. This rum is no where near the 5+5 big brother. The Sherry taste is there along with some vanilla, ginger, and honey.
