Molasses: Treacle 3

Treacle 3 molasses is a dark, thick sugar‑cane molasses, used by home and commercial distillers. It delivers rich flavour, aroma, and colour, giving spirits—especially rum—a full-bodied, robust character similar to traditional cane distillation.

Typical analysis (approx.):

• Total Brix: ~79.8° Bx
• Fermentable sugars: ~44 %
• Sucrose: ~26 %
• Invert sugar: ~16 %

How to use: Dilute with water and ferment like any sugar wash. Its moderate fermentable sugar content makes it ideal for flavour-focused spirits; distillers often blend with additional sugar to increase alcohol yield while preserving authentic rum character.
