Bundaberg Master Distillers Collection Solera Rum (700ml)

Winner: Best dark rum at the World Rum Awards 2017.

The crowning masterpiece in the Bundaberg Master Distillers' Collection is also Bundaberg's finest and most intricate rum to date. Made using a complex solera process, it begins with their best reserves, carefully matured in selected rich Port, Bourbon and Sweet Sherry barrels and ends in a rum that can go toe to toe with premium South Americans and Carribeans. Delivering a palate that's rich in age, combined with sweetness and notes of vanilla, fruitcake, butterscotch and oak, more than a few lifetime Bundy fans have declared it the best thing the distillery has ever produced. Comes impressively packaged in a heavyweight, rectangular decanter and premium presentation box. 40% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... For All the gimmicky limited editions and well overpriced rums with little age or pedigree they have finally managed to make one good rum. I was very sceptical when finding out about the world drink awards they had won and purchased a 3 pack of their award winners directly. Containing one mdc, one small batch and the solera. The first 2 would taste fine drowned in cola like every rum they have made to date but then there is the solera. I have multiple rums at twice the price that are nowhere near as good as this. At under 200 aud a bottle this is one to stock up on. A very UN Bundy kind of rum. A smooth sipper, expertly blended no doubt, sweet molasses, vanilla and Christmas pudding. Totally unexpected. A real credit to who ever blended this. It's about as good as it gets. Around the same price as zacapa xo but this has the edge as far as $170+ soleras go. If I blind tasted this I would expect a much higher price. - rumratings.com
