Bundaberg Overproof

I walked into the landsdown in Sydney in 89 with a blond I'd met the night before upstairs in the backpackers and asked for a bundaberg rum, the barman asked if I wanted op ...my answer would dictate the rest of my life , I had the best 12months of my life travelling with her around Australia and our son is doing the same now ...so always go for the OP...and stunning blond backpackers , you won't go wrong

I'm an old school drinker. I take my spirits neat as a rule. This stuff is the exception. You need at least one ice cube - or use it to put some serious fangs in your coffee/tea.

OP rum is the tasty beverage of choice for when you feel the need to do some serious damage to your taste buds and/or brain cells.

I'm a Queenslander born and bred and I love the stuff. That said, I can understand why others don't. Think of it as the Laphroaig of rums. It's as rough as hessian underpants, no pretensions to class or style. If you're toasting fallen comrades, this is what you need.

This used to be my go to drink for a big weekend. I was uneducated back then , but still enjoyed this by the 1125ml bottle, It's BOLD and INTENSE just like me so match made in heaven really. Many good times had ;) Definitely a mixer folks.

Strong stuff tastes stronger than he abv suggests puts hair on your chest no tasting notes just strong alcohol

This is as close to whiskey as a rum can get. It will light a fire under your seat and kick you in teeth on the way down. Just tried some unopened, that my father-in-law brought stateside back in '89....I can't imagine the kick it had before time smoothed it out.

This shit is rough. You gotta be a tough cunt to drink it. It's made for men, real aussie men who like to fight. A few sips on this dark and stormy and you'll be smacking your mum in the face and and fucking anything that moves. If it doesn't move, you'll put wheels on it and kick it!

Don't be a weak cunt, take out your tampon, drop your skirt and man up and get on it.

Stand back and don't be holding anything that might suddenly ignite! This is strong stuff and can only be drunk when diluted with something less flammable!

Bundaberg rums are hard to find in the US, but 6 years ago some Aussie's that were friends with a mutual friend brought a bottle from down under. I remember it being surprisingly smooth for the high proof and having a very unique taste- akin to a musky winter spice mix. From what I've read about these rums in my quest to procure a bottle, I'm sure that a second tasting would find me singing a different tune, but what I do remember of that hazy college evening was a unique rum and a very good time.

You need to be a man or a strong woman to drink this. Smells great but can take you by surprise at first. Mellows with ice after a while but still is a mans drink

This rum is a great rum by itself or in a mix. I find it has a more Carmel flavour than most in its price range and isn’t masked by a abundance of a vanilla or banana overtones.
