Bundaberg Rum 700ml

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

Bundaberg rum has been an integral part of Australia’s heritage since 1888, as the old Bundaberg label on the left attests to. This unique rum was born out of the canefields of Queensland. Deep gold in colour with a perfumed sweet and spicy nose. The palate differs from the Jamaican style being slightly lighter, with less evidence of oak. The bottles distinctive polar bear logo is a symbol that Bundaberg Rum can ward off the wickedest chill or flu.
