Cargo Cult Spiced Rum Bundle 2x700ml (Spiced + Banana Spiced)

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 the islanders had never seen before chocolate, medicine, chewing gum, jeeps and cigarettes to name but a few.

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. So 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.

Not your typical Caribbean or Central America origin story, CARGO CULT rum (including their spiced rum releases) is distilled and aged at two remote South Pacific distilleries – one in Papua New Guinea and another on the island of Fiji. Both distilleries have significant daily temperature variance, rapidly accelerating barrel aging.
