Bundaberg Solera

After tasting Bundaberg Solera, I am now a ruined rum drinker, everything else I have ever tasted in the rum universe is now inferior.

One if the best Bundys I have had.

It's not amazing and the flavour is hard to distinguish but you can sip it with ice and enjoy.

I get the caramel notes but that's all I can get.

The down side is the price, very expensive and when u can get an Appletons 21 year cheaper it makes it hard justify this.

I would not buy again.

I was really sceptical to try it as I hate Bundaberg rhums. But this is one of their top gun. And overall I was happily surprised with the taste and loved the look of the bottle. Pretty descent drop my only 2 issues: It was a little to soft on the nose and really overpriced .
Nose: 6/10
Taste: 8/10
Value: 5/10
Packaging:9/10

Proof that Bundy can make rum. Smooth taste and no burn at all. Slight taste of butterscotch and vanilla. One of the best rums I’ve ever tasted

Thought it was good when purchased in December 2016, been sitting in a dark cabinet for 5 years and had a bit today, February 2022....wonderful now and only a little harsh first sip kept it from a 10. Subsequent sips were awesome.

The best Bundaberg I have found so far. One of the finest rums that I've had the pleasure of sipping.

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
