This is foul and not relevant as a rum hideous and does not deserve a rating ...

Bundaberg original is without a doubt the worst thing I have ever put in my mouth. The taste, while in your mouth, is not good, but perhaps redeemable. The real kick in the crotch, however, comes soon after you swallow, and a vomit-like aftertaste rushes into your mouth, leaving you wishing you were dead. do yourself a favour and get the cheaper (and far less disgusting) captain morgan's.

The consensus with this rum is that it is so bad you can only consume it if you drown out the flavour with something strong like coke. Well that's impressive.

Grew up on this rocket fuel, was the starter to many parties. Used to be cheap and nasty now its just nasty ! But it is very popular across AU guess its an acquired taste ;) Still hit it on occasion if I'm desperate because most pubs only stock this rum.

Definitely burns the nose, but accents subtle vanilla notes. Burns the tongue as well haha, but again, simple, sweet notes also very detectable. Tastes like a rum-makers first attempt. Cola knocks down the harshness and overall makes it pretty pleasant.

Worst Rum I have ever tasted tried mixing with ginger beer couldn't get through a couple of sips, tasted like paint thinners with an overpowering chemical taste, I hope this is just a manufacturing problem but this was rubbish, sorry.

Don't get excited with the word UP, it do not mean any enhancement made to the rum, but Under-Proof.

N- Honey, some white chrysanthemum floral tea. Get medicinal but harmless, shallow and light. (81/17)

P- Whispers of chocolate, honey, nutty and molasses. Peaches too, but too soft and none of the flavours are significant enough to claim a footing. (79/16)

F- Medium, surprisingly lasted quite a bit with ginger. Finely woody with touch of dryness. (84/18)

B/B- 79/16. Drowned by dilution for benefit of volume? Not sure. But surely be better at full proof.

I can’t defend this drink. As a spirit It’s not good.
That said, bundy and coke is a unique taste and sometimes you may need it like a zinger burger.

Nothing good to say about this... Only drinkable once tipsy, but a big dissapointment. Australians seem to like it, dont know why.

I don't like it. It has an unpleasant chemical aftertaste, preceded by a chemical flavour, with unpleasant alcohol burn. Even cola can't mask the unpleasant chemical taste.
