Question Bundaberg Rum Filth or Great

In honour of the new member Bundy I am putting up a poll about whether you like Bundaberg rum. Personally I find it as tasty as petrol however my cousin loves the stuff.

What do you think?

Surprisingly I didn't get to try any when we were in Oz earlier this year. BUT considering that I have become accustomed to 12 year old Mount Gay direct from the Barbados distillery, it has a lot of living up to do!

Clearly it is the stuff of the gods...bundy and coke, dark'n'stormies, mud rums, bundy in coffee, bundy straight........

Use it to cure a sore throat, ward off a chill, cure a cold (honest) - it's medicinal properties are stated right there on the bottle.

If you live out in the sticks, as I did for a year, there's really no choice. It's beer or bundy, and I don't drink beer.

At least you can get bundy over here...Threshers sell it by the (expensive) bottle, and Bundy and coke is on tap in some pubs, in Cambridge at least. We've also managed to find an independent off-licence who import Bundy Black and sell it to my aussie other half at cost price...can't beat that!

Go the Bundy Bear!

OP is way too hardcore for me...Bundy Black is good though. Very mellow. But then you feel guilty about swigging copious quantitied drowned with coke, so we usually just stick the plain ol bog-standard bundy.

On a tour of the Mount Gay distillery in Barbados I made the mistake of telling the tour guide that I had been drinking the 12 year old Mount Gay Rum mixed with coke in a local bar the night before. I can't describe the look she gave me.

Best damn rum and coke ever, though!

Bundy is definitely the drink of the gods. Growing up only 2 hours from Bundaberg I pretty much grew up on the stuff. Even remember going to the distillery at a very early age. My mum and whole family love the stuff, just can't bring enough into Oz duty free when I travel to keep the whole family happy.

Now that Mr TrickyTree seems to have changed his mind and acquired quite a taste for it the two bottles I bought back last month are quickly dwindling. Luckily the Walkabouts and other Aussie pubs over here stock it.

Hello Miss TT!

You were brought up well. I was weaned on gin, there being no Bundy rum in the UK, but I have since adopted Bundy as the drink of choice.

Threshers, people, Threshers! You don't have to rely on getting it in pubs!

I've tried other stuff, but always come back to the good old Bundy....about the only spirit that I've never had a serious hangover from, even after drinking an entire bottle in one night.

Will have to check out Threshers when our duty free supplies are gone. Thanks

That's true - you don't normally get a hangover from Bundy. Just gut-rot from all that coke!

Give me straight single malt scotch whisly anyday. Minimal hangovers. I normally suffer morning after but I have been hangover free after drinking a bottle of the stuff.
