Technically, sweet feed would be a whiskey. One of the best rums I've made was a combo of white and brown sugar w/ no molasses. Are you not satisfied with your results?

Not really whiskey can't have sugar added.

How about panela?

I have heard but never tried: diluting then melting the molasses let it stand and the fillers should settle to the bottom. As I said I never tried, it seems like a big mess to clean up after. ???

Here s a simple rum,
10 pounds of sugar cane sugar
4 pounds of sugar cane brown sugar
6 gallons of water
Yeast
It makes a good rum. Age it in some toasted or non toasted whit oak chips.
