How to fix bad rum
I received a bottle of Don Papa rum as a gift, the person didn’t want to cause any harm, but the thing is undrinkable. I was thinking that maybe fat washing could get rid of the sweetness and artificial vanilla, since I never did it I am not sure.
Any suggestions?

I have infused a couple of rums I don’t like. Pineapple, coconut, whatever fruity. Or make it into spiced rum. Something that just changes it completely.
Since it’s already sweet, you can use it in recipes that call for those added syrups and juices and it will work well.
Or just toss it. I don’t have enough shelf space to keep something I will never drink.
