NOTES
The history of Bundaberg Rum began over one hundred years ago in the Bundaberg sugar cane region of Central Queensland. Bundaberg first began producing commercial sugar in 1872, but the real boom came in the 1880s when Queensland enjoyed a surge of economic growth.
With this growth came the problem of what to do with the by-product of molasses after the sugar was extracted. The farmers knew it could be converted into rum and little distilleries cropped up all over Queensland. In 1888, several of the small sugar producers banded together to float a new public company, The Bundaberg Distilling Company. This promptly set about making the product that quickly became 'Famous' for its taste and quality.
TASTING NOTES
Since 1888, we have been mastering the art of aging rum. These days, we age our rum in oak vats, which are still lovingly crafted and maintained by hand. We keep a close eye on all our vats, and occasionally, we come across a maturing vat that promises to deliver something EXCEPTIONAL - rum with a supreme character that takes time to develop.
These exceptional vats are RESERVED, and watched closely by our experts. They will be monitored and cared for until this premium rum has reached the peak of its character, when we release it EXCLUSIVELY as Bundaberg Reserve. Demonstrating outstanding character, this old oak aged rum is RICH & DARK, finishing with a HINT OF OAK.
