Cargo Cult Spiced rum is made from a blend of Papua and Fijian rums aged in a tropical climate, infused with selected spices, including cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and vanilla. It is bottled in small numbered batches, strictly without added sugar.
Cargo Cult Spiced rum is produced by independent bottler The Small Batch Spirits Company, thanks to the drive of Steve Magarry, former Distillery Manager of Beenleigh. Based in Sydney, the focus is on premium brands from Australia, Fiji and Papua New Guinea. The name Cargo Cult derives from a belief prevalent in the South Pacific islands, which originated when American troops landed there during World War II, bringing with them a seemingly inexhaustible supply of goods they had never seen before: chocolate, medicine, chewing gum, jeeps, cigarettes. In the eyes of the people living on the islands, who had never had much contact with the outside world, this event took on an aura of a miracle; thus, when the troops left, there was a desire among the islanders to see another cargo ship loaded with goods return. The wish was expressed in a series of prayers to various deities for the magical cargo ship to return. According to legend, this cult is still active on some of the more remote islands.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
