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.
