Cargo Cult Spiced

N- Initial freaking sweetness like a gulap jamun soaked with dripping syrup, clouded with heavy dosage of cinnamon, clove and vanilla. But get better after the excessive sugar were aired out, cola candy, zesty, sandalwood and mineral, even some quality raisin and milky chocolate lurking. (83/18)

P- Have a sip of this aired rum, the coat of fine bitterness taking in well, nutmeg, cola, lime peel and lifted with dry mouthfeel. Smokes of wood, mineral and chocolaty. (86/20)

F- Short-medium, subtly toasted and nutmeg, soft bitterness from the palate remains to balanced out the sweetness. Dry, cola again and mildly spicy. (86/20)

B/B- 85/19. Apart from the initial surge of offensive sweetness, is actually quite good, think their "Dry Spiced" version should be better.

Named after a fictional WW2 american soldier called John Frum.. He and his mates brought all sorts of goodies for the locals on an island in Vanuatu during the war...
38.5% .Pours a nice golden colour , aroma's of clove , cinnamon and orange zest above the glass with some vanilla in the background. Subtle spiced rum indeed... this is more Foursquare than Kraken !
No added sugar apparently, which accounts for some dryness but still nicely sweet..
Ok to sip but also makes a good mixer , just don't drown it or the subtle flavours will get lost..
A blend of rums from Papua New Guinea and Fiji put together in Aussie..

Nicely presented in a ‘cork’ topped clear bottle with rustic label. This is a clean dry rum that is just about smooth enough to sip (without the afterburn) but also mixes well with e.g. ginger beer.

ot amazing on its won but really comes alive when mixed with apple juice

Very heavy vanilla on the nose but a very dry and clean rum. Can taste the clove flavours, tried on its own and also mixed with a little apple juice. Easy dronlong.

Interesting rum from the Islands. Christmas cake spices, well balanced sugars (not syrupy like Sailor Jerry)
