golden in colour and thats the only good thing
Ive only tried this of the range and wouldnt say no to investigating some of their others but for me it just didnt excite me. It was different and ill give it that but thats about it really. Not as smooth as others in the same price and i certainly wouldnt be drinking this one neat. Maybe im just a lil dissappointed as i expected more from the producers of what i think is the best ginger beer available!?!
Tasted on Qantas flight 22 to Melbourne on 9-20-24. Pours a rich gold. Offensive aroma of burning rubber. Flavor is cardboard and rubber bands. Pretty bad stuff, but the only rum offered on the flight.
Absolutely horrible, wouldn't recommend under any circumstance
It’s like cheap tequila.
Flash back to cheap nights in my youth drinking the cheapest booze.
Hopefully it mellows now it’s open. Otherwise it will be heavy on the bitters and orange.
Truly terrible, taste of the Australian ground, like it's been filtered with the actual soil itself
Great flavour with a hint of wood. I wish this was readily available in the USA.
Not even fit to be called rum. Caramel coloured alcoholic beverage for 15 years olds to mix with coke.
This rum. Is rum.. simple as that that. I'm Australian and I think I drink Bundaberg rum for purely that reason. For the standard working class man here in Australia who want to drink rum, this is the rum preferred. For those who prefer a quality, more complex rum, I suggest you broaden your price range, as any rum connoisseur will be greatly disappointed with this one.

This stuff is everywhere in Oz. I'm sure a high percentage of the Rum drinkers are vaguely aware of other Rums, but believe this is the best. From a marketing point of view in Australia, it's no.1. I grew up drinking and new no better until 10 years ago. From a taste point of view, let's just say if you like to know your drinking alcohol, want a strong flavoured spirit with the throat burning kick of bad Vodka then this is more than palatable for you.
Harsh on the rocks, always disguise well in a mixer.
