Well folks, I think I finally found a Bundy which can actually got toe to toe with the South Americans and Carribeans. I'd give this a solid 8 out of 10 and would be very pleased if someone ever handed me a glass of this at a gathering of sorts.

The Solera is a dark rich rum which unlike the other Bundies out there, doesn't have that whiff of ethanol every time you open the bottle and doesn't leave you feeling vulnerable of naked flames after you breathe out after having a sip.

It has a nice draw on it, very smooth, good opening with vanilla, dark fruits and molasses. The finish isn't as complex or drawn out as hoped but sincerely, Bundy have actually done it, they have actually created a world class rum with this one.

But at the price point, boy oh boy is it heading into Australian national pride gimmick town. This would be the sort of thing you buy an older Australian gentleman for Christmas or something like that to enjoy with his nearest and dearest. Worth a try once for sure but for the money, I think I'd rather go for a Ron Zacapa XO and pocket the change.

Still hat tip to the folks at Bundaberg, you've actually made a rum which is worthy of enjoying in a glass with nothing added and will leave the sipper going "wow that's tasty".

Would give a 9 but the nose is harsh, smells much younger than the taste. Caramel and vanilla notes smooth, a rougher but less sweet zacapa

Fantastic sipping rum of raisins, Molasses and brown sugar notes

Drink neat.

A slightly more refined taste compared to cheaper El Dorado, diplomatico or Ron zacapa's, I'd guess no added sugar/sweetener or at least less.

This is not cheap rubbish Bundaberg but truly amazing sipping rum

Not a big fan of Bundy rums, some of the special editions are ok but this one's bloody nice

Actually a pretty good offering from Bundaberg perfect neat or 1 cube vanilla and butterscotch most prominent only downside is price @180 aud a bottle it is pretty pricey

First brought to add to collection but decided to drink, bad choice.
Now I have a opened bottle that I try to of load to.friends.
Considering the price tag I think.a 6 is over scored.

Tastes like a proper rum should..
It does have caramel added im sure but it goes nicely with the flavour profile , do not mix this , just sip neat or with one small icecube .. very , very nice.

The awards associated with this Rum are more than deserving.
Blended exceptionaly, It's Aged well with clear sweet Vanilla notes and a hint of fruity highlights.
I tried this both mixed with Cola and Neat.
Given the depth of flavours I would highly recommend drinking Neat or on the rocks to appreciate it's unadulterated taste.

Aroma is sweet. Taste is molasses and honey tones. Could be a bit stronger tohave bigger an fuller body. Aftertaste is average with sweeter tones including maple syrup.

Very smooth with a great sweet aroma and some nice varied flavours. Can't believe Bundaberg made something this good! But, I'd expect more for $180. Finish not long or complex enough for a 9.
