I guess I am also stumbling on the word "natural". Do you mean as in, "adventures in nature"?

But rum has always been the spirit of adventure!

It was drunk by pirates as they pursued Spanish gold in the Carribbean.

It was carried by British sailors as they pursued the pirates, and as they explored the islands of the South Pacific.

It was traded for slaves in West Africa.

It was selected by Don the Beachcomber as the main ingredient in his exotic cocktails (mostly because it was cheap, but we can leave that part out).

It was carried by Thor Heyerdahl as he sailed the Kon Tiki across the Pacific (OK, I made that part up).

And much of it will be consumed this very day, by those pursuing adventure exploring the gardens of the Mai Kai at The Hukilau (where I really wish I were at right now).

So maybe rather than being "The Spirit of Natural Adventure" it is "The Natural Spirit of Adventure."

Hope that helps.
