BUNDABERG - Underproof

Share |
Description:
Bundaberg Rum is an Aussie icon: Australia's bestselling rum and the country's number one spirits brand. Think Oz, think Bundy - and its bear.

Bundy has been made in Bundaberg, Queensland, since 1888 but Bundy R Bear arrived only in 1961. First intended as a message that Bundy could ward off any winter chill, he is now the ultimate party animal, showing drinkers the Australian way to a good time.

Bundaberg is made from sugar cane grown in the heat of Northern Queensland and is aged for at least two years. Its robust, rich flavour pairs perfectly with cola or ginger ale. Just add ice and a squeeze of lime.

Review: I've tried a few bottles of this and it has a very distinct flavour. If you've not tried it before, you should, but its not a sweet and sugary or dark and navy type either. Not one of my favourites but not a bad mixing rum. I would not drink this straight.

Review: Well, I must say that I'm a Rum Lover but Bundarberg Rum is different from all the others. Taste is pretty similar to Havana Club 7 but a bit stronger. I found out this Rum while I was studying in Australia and since I came back 4 years ago I have to say that Bundy's still my fav Rum. Buy it whether you're a collector or a true Rum lover.

Review: I must say this, Aaron Zall, sorry you do not know what your talking about. This is the BEST drink that has ever been invented, FORGET ALL OTHER RUMS, this is king. Just a shame that no one imports dark and stormy to England. As a native of Queensland, I miss it.

Review: This Rum is fantastic, sweet and easy to drink. One of the finest spirts I have ever come across, highly recommended. They sell pre-mixers out in Aus' called Bundaberg Dark and Stormy, basicly, just mix some of the underproof Rum with ginger beer and you have one of the best drinks in existence.

Review: Bundy is the drink of the gods. Mix with a little lemonade and a copule of chunks of ice and enjoy.First tried in Oz, you'll soon forget those nasty memories of dark rum. No I don't work for Bundy, but it looks like the rest of the reviewers didn't know what they where talking about.

Review: I was brought back some of this from Australia.
With the Havana Club 7yo at the same price, or the Mount Gay Eclipse at 3 quid less, you would have to be homesick or a collector to buy it, there are far better offerings at this price point.
'Bundy' as they call it is.. well its ok. The very fact that Australian pubs sell this ready mixed with coke or lemonade from the bar's soda fountain, about sums it up.
It also comes in cans, by the way. Groan.

Review: Forget Tooheys New, VB and Carlton Cold. Bundaberg Rum is THE quintessential Australian tipple. Taste this with coke and you are hooked.
Beautiful.

Review: As a sailor of the Seven Seas for many a year I can honestly say that I have never enjoyed a rum more. It has an almost floral scent, reminiscent of jasmine. Smooth and flavourful but not over-powering when used in mixed drinks.
Only the finest Caribbean rums even come close. Unfortunatly it is not available in the USA so I can only get it when I or freinds travel to the land down under.

Review: One of australia's best kept secrets, so much smoother than carribean rum, it's why God put sugar cane on this earth.
First tasted it during a tour of the distillery in Bundaberg, Queensland, in 2004.

Review: My first experience of Bundaberg was in Brisbane, Australia. I enjoy Jack Daniels with coke, however the barman recommended me Bundaberg. Tracking it down in England is tough and the only place i have come across it is Wetherspoons. A great rich taste that is perfect with coke.

Producer Information

In 1872 commercial sugar cane starts production in Australia.
A new industry is born as commercial sugar cane is found to be successfully suited to Australia's tropical regions. In 1880 Bundaberg makes its name as Australias sugar cane capital and with a good climate combined with its favourable location sees Bundaberg and the surrounding district in Queensland establish itself as a leader in sugar cane production.
By 1888 the Bundaberg Distilling Company is born and with the local sugar industry flourishing, a consortium of local sugar millers seize the opportunity to produce rum. In 1889 the first Bundaberg Rum comes out of the distillery.
With the plant, equipment and expertise in place, the fledgling distillery successfully produces its first rum, a total of 22,500 gallons.
In 1892, a local competitor arrives on the scene, established by the Waterview sugar mill, a new distillery opens to challenge for a share of the Bundaberg Distillery's ever-expanding market and in 1903 The Waterview Distillery is destroyed by floods. These were disastrous for the Waterview Distillery, sweeping away its hopes of challenging Bundaberg Rum.
In 1939 Bundy goes to war!
The Australian Government takes over all rum stocks for the armed forces, the Royal Navy and the US military.
In 1950 Bundy is disguised in many different labels. The Bundaberg Distilling Company begins to sell rum in barrels, overproof, to agents who bottled it under their own labels.
In 1986 the seeds are sown for Bundaberg Black with Master Distiller, Dr Lou Muller, putting aside one vat of Bundaberg Rum, destined to become the famous Bundaberg Black Rum and by 1993, Dark and Stormy is born.
Bundaberg Distilling Company combines two famous products - Bundaberg Rum and Ginger Beer - to make a distinctly Australian product, Dark and Stormy.
1996 sees the launch of Bundaberg Black to the market, the first release of Australia's premium quality rum, Bundaberg Black, specially aged as an Ovintage rum. In 1999 a first in the premix spirit market, Bundaberg launches a Bundaberg Rum & Cola mixed at 3.5% alcohol strength. Perfect for those occasions when you have to be in control!
In 2001, Bundaberg Rum. proudly supporting the Wallabies and for the first time in Australia, a spirit brand takes out a major sponsorship opportunity, Bundaberg and the world champion Wallabies - what a fit.
