  Cargo Cult Banana Spiced Rum 70 cl 38%

  Item no.: 059763-615-929

  It was the brand's own ambassador in London who first discovered how well banana paired with Cargo Cult in cocktails - and bananas are hardly in short supply in the South Pacific.

  Expert description

  Cargo Cult Banana Spiced is a spiced Rum from Australia, matured in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 38%.

  After Mario, Cargo Cult's brand ambassador in London, noticed how well banana complemented the rum in cocktails, the team spent six months experimenting to arrive at this release. The result is a balanced, dry spiced rum with a fully natural banana aroma and flavour - with no added sugar, so the rum's own character still shines through alongside the banana.

  Cargo Cult is a small Australian rum brand that builds its rum from a blend of several Pacific islands and bottles it in small batches. Banana Spiced is one of three core variants in the range, alongside Navy Strength and Dry Spiced.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Natural ripe banana with a hint of spice.

  Palate

  Dry and spiced, with clear banana character rather than artificial sweetness.

  Finish

  Medium, dry with a lingering banana tone.

  Cargo Cult Dry Spiced Rum 70 cl 38.5%

  Item no.: 059763-615-930

  Rum from the Ramu River Valley in Papua New Guinea meets rum from the sunny island of Fiji - and to comply with Australia's strict rules, it is all spiced on a small vineyard in Orange, New South Wales.

  Expert description

  Cargo Cult Dry Spiced is a spiced Rum from Australia, matured in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 38.5%.

  The rum combines matured rum from the South Pacific - from the Ramu River Valley in Papua New Guinea and from Fiji - spiced with cardamom, clove, cinnamon, ginger and vanilla. Because Australia's import and production rules are strict, the rum is blended and spiced on a small vineyard in Orange, New South Wales, then matured for up to three years in ex-bourbon casks under tropical heat.

  It is precisely the absence of added sugar that sets Dry Spiced apart from many other spiced rum styles - the spices build the flavour without a layer of sweetness masking the rum's own character.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Cardamom and clove with a hint of vanilla.

  Palate

  Dry and spiced, with cinnamon and ginger building under the rum's own sweetness.

  Finish

  Medium, dry and spiced without excessive sweetness.

  Cargo Cult Navy Strength Rum 70 cl 54.5%

  Item no.: 059763-615-928

  On some isolated South Pacific islands, people to this day wait for supplies to appear over the horizon again, just as they did with planes during the Second World War - hence the name Cargo Cult.

  Expert description

  Cargo Cult Navy Strength is a Navy Strength Rum from Australia, matured in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 54.5%.

  The rum is composed of rum from Fiji, Papua New Guinea and Australia in a small batch production, named after the "cargo cult" phenomenon - the belief that supplies would once again arrive from the sky, as they did when allied planes supplied the South Pacific islands during the war. The Navy Strength designation refers to the high, undiluted strength that historically ensured the rum could ignite gunpowder aboard naval ships.

  Cargo Cult is a small Australian rum brand that blends rum from several Pacific islands and bottles it in small batches with no added sugar, letting the raw, powerful character of the different origins come through.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Powerful and molasses-heavy, with a hint of tropical fruit.

  Palate

  Intense and warm, with wood and spice from the ex-bourbon casks.

  Finish

  Long and burning, typical of navy strength.

  Dead Reckoning Australia 9 years old Bourbon Cask Single Blended Rum 70 cl 55%

  Item no.: 059763-615-637

  On the banks of the Albert River in Queensland, rum has been distilled since 1884 - this bottle shows what one of Australia's oldest distilleries can do when column and pot still work together.

  Expert Description

  Dead Reckoning Australia is a Single Blended Rum from Australia, 9 years old, aged on ex-bourbon American oak casks, bottled at 55%.

  The rum represents a highlight of Australian rum history, distilled on the banks of the Albert River in Queensland - a site with a distilling tradition dating back to 1884. Inside the heritage-listed facility, the rum matures in the tropical climate on American oak following a combination of column and pot still distillation, which in turn follows a 48-72 hour fermentation period from locally produced molasses. The combination of the two distillation methods creates a complex base that the long tropical ageing builds upon.

  Dead Reckoning is one of the rarer Australian rum brands to find its way to the Danish market, making this bottle an opportunity to taste a style most rum lovers have never encountered.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Molasses, caramel and a hint of tropical fruit.

  Palate

  Powerful and complex with clear oak influence.

  Finish

  Long and warm.

  Dead Reckoning South Pacific 10 years old Muscat Cask Single Blended Rum 70 cl 47%

  Item no.: 059763-615-638

  A double-retort pot still from the South Pacific and casks from an Australian winery in Wagga Wagga - two unusual elements that together create this rum.

  Expert Description

  Dead Reckoning South Pacific is a Single Blended Rum from the South Pacific, 10 years old, aged on 40-year-old Muscat casks, bottled at 47%.

  The rum was distilled in the South Pacific in 1994 on a John Dore pot still with a double-retort configuration, also known as a "double thumper". The blend consists of 80% continuous-still rum and 20% pot-still rum, creating a complex base. This base was then aged on 40-year-old Muscat casks, supplied by Charles Sturt Winery in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales - casks that add a sweet, wine-toned character to the powerful rum. The release was bottled in 2022 and is limited to 1,240 bottles.

  The combination of South Pacific distillation and Australian Muscat cask ageing makes this bottle an unusual crossover of two spirits traditions.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Sweet Muscat grape sweetness, dried fruit and molasses.

  Palate

  Full-bodied and wine-toned with complexity from the blend of distillation methods.

  Finish

  Long and sweet.

  RomDeLuxe Australia Handcraftet Rum Batch 1 Killik Distillery White Rum 50 cl 84%

  Item no.: 2222786543333-669320

  Australia isn't the first country that comes to mind when the talk turns to rum. But RomDeLuxe found a tiny craft distillery down under, and the result is a white rum so powerful it practically leaps out of the glass.

  Expert Description

  RomDeLuxe Australia Handcraftet Rum Batch 1 is a White Rum from Australia, bottled unfiltered and unaged at a full 84%.

  The rum is sourced from Killik Handcrafted Rum, a small Australian distillery, and brought to Denmark by RomDeLuxe, the Danish independent bottler that has specialised since 2016 in finding and bottling rums with a clear, immediate character rather than age or rarity. This Batch 1 is a so-called "new make", a rum that has been distilled but not cask aged, giving a pure glimpse into the distillate's raw power.

  Fermentation is wild and uncontrolled, giving the rum an unusual richness of esters, the aromatic compounds that create fruity and floral notes. At 84%, this is a rum for those who want to meet the spirit completely unfiltered.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Intense and fermented with tropical fruit, banana and a sharp, alcoholic edge that underscores the wild fermentation.

  Palate

  Powerful and pure with cane juice, ester-rich fruitiness and a burning warmth that fills the whole mouth.

  Finish

  Long and intense, where the fruity esters linger long after the initial powerful heat has settled.

  Item no.: 2222785555-881

  Australian rum is a rarity on Danish shelves, and this bottle from the Beenleigh distillery is one of the more obscure styles RomDeLuxe has brought home.

  Expert Description

  RomDeLuxe Wild Series Rum #40 is an Australian Single Cask Rum distilled at Beenleigh Artisan Distillery and bottled at cask strength 67%.

  The rum carries the mark MAIC10 and is made from molasses, distilled in August 2007.

From this single cask, only 259 numbered bottles were produced, bottled brut de fût, meaning straight from the cask without filtration or additives.

  Tasting Notes

  Dark molasses, tropical fruit and a hint of eucalyptus.

  Palate

  Powerful and oily with caramel, spice and an intense cask-strength warmth.

  Finish

  Very long, spiced finish with lingering warmth.
