Bundaberg Original UP

Best way to use the rum is to unscrew the cap: walk to the kitchen grabs some glasses. The walk to sink and poor this crap down the drain go back to the bar and get any other rum literally anything.
The rums nothing more than a coke mixer for cheap drunks.

This rum has the nose of vomit with the after-taste of vomit. I blame this drink for giving me the wrong impression of rum for a good 20 years until a mate introduced me to the pleasures of proper rum. Considering that Australia produces such good products across the board, this product is a massive blight on landscape of Australian quality products. Queensland can't produce good beers either.

Good-old Bundy puts its own spin on the world rum scene. I love it as much as any. It makes me proud to be Australian!

It’s its own thing, it doesn’t try to be like other rums. A true original!

But having said that, aside from a little neat nip as you open the bottle, just for interest’s sake, you wouldn’t have it on its own — it’s best with coke. You’ll never forget it!

It may not be your favourite rum, but you’ll agree it’s got its own thing going.

Useful if you need guerney your driveway down or to make rum balls for the relatives you don't like terrible

This rum has a tough time with the reviews, that much is clear. To the discerning (snobby) palate, this rum may taste like sugar cane and gasoline. But this is not a rum for such people.

This rum is for when it's too bloody hot and the worksite closes for the day. This rum is for an Australia Day picnic at the local park with your mates. This rum is for you, and me, and Barry down the road.

This rum is for Australia.

Pour cuisiner il peut être utile si il n'y a rien d'autre

Look if you ever find this on your local liquor store shelf and your not from Australia, I got news for you, this rum is pretty awful so do not buy this if you are looking for something you can sip on its own. If you want a rum and coke, this is your loyal Australian mate. Unassuming, unjudgemental and will show you good night followed by a fairly decent hangover.

Almost nobody except alcoholics passed out on a pub toilet are fans of this straight and in Australia it is pretty much the standard issue rum found anywhere because it's cheap it blends well with coke. I can't count how many times I've served this at the local pub I used to work at. A "Bundy and coke" is about as quintessentially Australian as it gets because even Australians will rip on particularly famous beer brands because they are from a different state. Bundy does not have this issue.

It is what it is. Unpretentious kinda nasty sugar cane blending rum for unpretentious drinkers. Bundaberg do make a very few quite good rums but most of their range to be honest is designed to be consumed in working class pubs and dive bars around the country. I give it a 3 by itself but if you put it with coke (as I think its intended) then it goes up to at least a 4

It's not terrible but is lacking character and can be used for mixing if you're desperate. It's quite disappointing as a rum and more so an iconic Australian one. I can't really recommend it.

I had the pleasure of have a nip of this at a small rum night I and a few buddies try to have every couple of months let’s skip to skinny on this tin topper ...not worth buying skip it for something better
One of the buddies described it as a hollow rum not much taste with coke and a bad after taste 👎👎👎

Bundaberg rum has changed over the years, the flavour seems more chemical now, I think they have found a cheaper way to make it, and it shows, (or have just distilled methylated spirits and added colouring). It is bordering on garbage, would not buy anymore, Caribbean rums are better. I bought a bottle of it recently after about 10 years of not being interested in rum, and wasted my money. Tastes like methylated spirits with a subtle yet satisfying chemical after-taste when drank straight, needs coke to hide its poor quality. Stick with a decent drink like Jack Daniels or Wild Turkey, my favourites. The thing is I remember Bundaberg Rum being better tasting in the 90's, I guess progression means shafting customers.
