While the name Bundaberg is highly evocative to Australians, you'll agree that it's not a name that trips lightly off the tongue! So why Bundaberg Rum? It's the name of a town in Queensland, near the coast, some four hundred kilometres north of Brisbane. The town of Bundaberg was established in the 1860s, and with its tropical climate and rich soil, the surrounding area soon became known for growing sugar cane. Bundy's popularity today as Australia's biggest brand is a testimony to the spirit of Australia and the exciting taste of Bundaberg
Bundaberg Rum began over one hundred years ago in the sugar cane districts of Queensland. The town of Bundaberg boomed in the 1880s when Queensland enjoyed a surge of economic growth. Farmers began converting the molasses which was leftover from sugar refining into rum, and little distilleries began to crop up. Some came together in a co-operative called the Bundaberg Distilling Company. In 1961 the Bundaberg company introduced the polar bear as its mascot, to imply that the rum could ward off the coldest chill
