Bundaberg is a dark rum produced in Bundaberg referred to as Bundy by it's fans, who tend to be louder, more boisterous, letcherous, and more raucous than aficianados of fine Cognac. In 1888, several small sugar producers in central Queensland banded together to float a new public company, The Bundaberg Distilling Company. The new distillery made use of stockpiles of molasses leftover from the refining of local sugar plantations, and set about making the drink which has made Bundaberg famous for good taste and quality.

Bundaberg Rum is much more than just a spirit – it is a brand that represents all that is Australia. Bearing the name of the town in which it's made, this full bodied, rich and distinctive drink was created in 1888 when a consortium of local sugar millers formed the Bundaberg Distilling Company. Production ceased from 1907 to 1914 and from 1936 to 1939 after fires, the second of which caused rum from the factory to spill into the nearby Burnett River. The brand is entwined with Australia's heritage, and many say it's our national drink.

The first barrel of Bundaberg rolled out of the distillery in 1888. Production ceased from 1907 to 1914 and from 1936 to 1939, after two catastrophic fires which devastated the plant, the second of which spilled much of the distillery's inventory into the nearby Burnett River.
