I know that the origin of rum can be traced back to the place of origin for sugar cane (Papua New Guinea), and I remember reading an article that restated this fact by mentioning the name of cane based drink from new guinea that used rice cakes in the fermentation wash.

Ed, do you - or anyone else know the name of this type of rum?

Actually wasnt rum originally from Barbados?

EDIT: Cane was first imported into Barbados from New Guinea ... where the first "Rum" was made. Not sure about your cane drink though.
