Computed from named public guides — NOT independently scholar-ratified. For doubtful items, consult a scholar you trust. Halalyzer never invents a ruling and never uses AI for the verdict.

Origin class: synthetic (stated); fermented-product type: flavor. status_condition: artificial rum flavoring compounded from esters without any actual rum; alcohol-free synthetic versions carry no khamr, but labeling ambiguity keeps it doubtful pending verification. Madhhab note: a synthetic imitation flavor with no intoxicant would be permissible if genuinely alcohol-free; resemblance and labeling ambiguity keep it doubtful. Aggregation methodology, not scholar-ratified.
