I think your splitting hairs,Rum is made from fermented molasses or sugar cane.
Molasses here (in the usa) is made from from sugar cane or sorgum.In the 
Dominican Republic it's  probably sugar cane molasses.I am unfamiliar with the 
Dominican rum mentioned but but did drink cahshasa while in Brazil.It is 190 
proof and absolutly lethal.
