I recall having this rum all the time in Australia in my youth. However, I must have grown taste buds since then. Its like a strong plum brandy mixed with pure alcohol... yet its underproof. Its a miracle that they have stayed in business... unless Australia disallows imports. Seriously thinking of using it as paint remover. This is going to take a few weeks to power through. The only thing worse than this is either Chaga rum, or Wray and Nephew White overproof. If you wish to buy this on some sort of dare, projecting toxic masculinity, then be my guest.

Привет АвстралиЯ! My shadow on your coast )

Underproof, 37° still feels like good 43.

When ethanol is bit evaporated the aroma of Australian (I guess) soil amuses you. That is some of the most exotic tastes I've experienced out of 115th. Exotic, but the core is still just the sugar cane.

I guess it may be Ok for a cocktail.

If you want a headache and regrets. Buy this.

Still just a mixer and even then I'd prefer something else.

I'm Australian and grew up knowing rum as an awful drink. Now I discover its because the "Bundy" Marketing machine raised us on this hideous muck. Who knew, rum can be nice! But really, if it is all that is on offer in the sticky dusty hell-hole of a pub you are in, and you need to get hosed, then bury it in coke and / or ginger beer or concrete or something and have a sweet night.

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.
