When US troops arrived in South Pacific during World War II, they brought with them CARGO – Spam, Coca Cola, Lucky Strike cigarettes, Jeeps, chewing gum, etc… often airdropped ahead of the troops. Bewildered by the unimaginable riches falling from the sky, many islanders believed they were gifts from the Gods.
After the war, when the CARGO stopped arriving, some islanders believed the Gods would once again deliver the limitless bounty.
They formed ‘Cargo Cults’ and prayed to the heavens for a return to abundance. On some remote islands they continue to look to the skies and patiently wait…
This was the story that inspired us to create CARGO CULT Rum.
Sourcing rum from two remote South Pacific distilleries, our rum is tropical aged in ex-bourbon barrels in the islands and then finished in fresh barrels in Australia.
Our recently released Navy Strength rum is 100% pot still, tropical island aged in ex-bourbon for 3 years and finished in fresh barrels in Australia. Nothing is added to this rum. It is at Navy Strength or 54.5% ABV.
Tasting Notes:
NOSE: Complex aromas of cacao, butterscotch, tobacco, raisons and toffee.
TASTE: Rich, big bodied and complex. Dark chocolate, raisons, butterscotch and caramel open up with perfectly balanced sweetness and robust flavour. Smooth and velvety in taste and finish.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Detta var nog bland det värsta jag smakat. Blir 🤮🤮🤮🤮 av 5 möjliga.
Den 19
Cargo Cult Navy Strength Rum
Aroma: estery, kakao, tabák, rozinky, marcipán v pozadí
Chuť: hladká, komplexní s chutí rozinek, Creme Brulee a čajovými lístky
Závěr: dlouhý, hřejivý s tóny mandlí, čaje a meruněk
Konečně něco odvážnějšího (co se objemového alkoholu týče) s lákavou vůní ale bohužel za mě už né s tak povedeným chuťovým profilem. Jinak ale v celku harmonický rum který si zajisté najde svoje obdivovatele, obzvláště za tu příznivou cenu. Je to ten tip rumu, který nesmíte odsoudit na první dobrou, jelikož čím déle ho pijete, tím je to lepší. Mě ale i tak ta chuť čajových tónů prostě nepřirostla k srdci… Uděluji 6/10
J’ai pas adhere pas bon pour moi
That’s one solid mother…… – heavy but actually quite round.
Ouch…
Worst one so far, by far.
Smell is sticky yet flat.
Taste like turpentine/gasoline?
First one i couldn’t even finish the 2 cl…
👍👍👍👍👍😍
Odeur et goût très désagréable
Effectivement, bon pour les ration de combat , ça met le feu
A very strong but full of flavors spice and ginger
Imbuvable…on dirait une infusion de cendrier
Imbuvable
Igitt
Ganz übel…
Very fragrant with a very strong taste. Not a sipping rum.
Imbuvable, le 1er depuis le début
Horrible 🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢
Un bon sans-plomb 98 est plus facile à boire
This one was awful. The first that I could not finish.
If possible I would have rated 0, tastes like kerosene
Stell dir vor, du nimmst einen Schluck von diesem Rum, und dein Geruchssinn wird gleich mal auf eine Reise in die Chemiefabrik geschickt! Kerosin und Abbeizer – wer braucht schon fruchtige Noten, wenn man eine Dosis „Industrie“ haben kann?
Trinken?
Es ist, als würde dein Gaumen einen verrückten Scherz machen: „Genießen Sie etwas Benzin gemischt mit Schokolade und Karamell!“ Ein Geschmacksspektakel vom Feinsten!
Prost auf das Abenteuer im Glas – auch wenn es nach dem Ende der Welt riecht!
It’s actually quite awful, as Rum goes. But it’s also fascinating. The closest thing to it, that I have tasted, is “Grog” from Cap Verde. The nose is best described as paint remover. The taste quite sharp, but blooms in the mouth and has a distinct taste of Arrak. It’s quite enjoyable with a piece of dark chocolate.
Disgusting 🙁
Kraftfull rom med touch av whiskey.
A must try for any rum lover, beware it bites.
Indeed the worst in the box – undrinkable
Good for getting drunk. No flavour and on the harsh side
Wow. This must of kept the veterans warm on the battlefield. This one is sharp.
It’s a 0 star. Undrinkable straight paint thinner.
Absolutely awful, it had a smell of industrial thinners and I had an allergic reaction to it. My mouth still isn’t right. I certainly wouldn’t rush out to buy this one. Disgusting 🤮
Nej fy vilken dålig Rom
Aldrig igen
Smells like old gasoline and tires. Tastes better but we are still at that old petrol station.
Too much alcohol not for me
Nej, blandat överblivet brännvin!
Ouch! Dirty and no good
Why do we need to try this crap?
🤮🤮🤮
