There is a tremendous lore and history surrounding rum, some of which can be researched within this site on various threads, but their line of the "Spirit of Natural Adventure" rings a little shallow and gimmicky to me. I'm sure they're trying conjure up imagery of people barefoot on some Caribbean Isle's beach, kicking waves while sipping on some coconut concoction made with "rum". Most people on this forum are probably borderline alcoholics (I mean that in a nice way), that know their rums and like 'em without artificial flavorings. Most of the people here are also amateur bartenders who love to experiment with rum, trying to find the ultimate magical elixir, often with freshly squeezed juices and unusual ingredients like pimento dram. Maybe that's your spin on "natural adventure".
