                                While distilled plain rum contains no sugar or carbohydrates, many spiced rums add flavorings and sweeteners after distillation, increasing their calorie and sugar content significantly. This critical difference means spiced rum's health profile is not the same as its unflavored counterpart, and its healthiness depends on more than just the base spirit.
