Bundaberg Dark Rum Review
This Australian dark rum is double distilled using only locally grown sugar cane and aged in it’s own specially made oak vats for a minimum of 2 years, so the taste and aroma is all down to the blending process.
Known locally as ‘Cane Champagne’, Bundaberg has yet to make a big impact outside of Oz. It’s a light, sweet and straighforward rum, with no real complexity or depth of flavour.
There is nothing overly memorable about drinking this, but equally there is nothing to dislike either. It’s a generic mixer that wouldn’t be out of place at a party, but in my opinion that’s all I would use it for.
One of the ‘tests’ I light-heartedly apply to any dark rum I drink: Can I imagine pirates drinking this in Tortuga while counting their ill-gotten gains? Sorry Bundaberg, you’ll have to walk the plank.
