Details: Both 2007 and 2008 8yo’s started their life late in the 20th Century as
sugar cane, grown for 360 days in the fields around Bundaberg. The cane was harvested
and crushed with the resulting molasses refined, fermented and twice distilled. Sealed
away in fine oak vats to mature, the taste and aroma were checked to ensure the utmost
quality. After eight long years, the rum developed the rich smooth character required
to be bottled, hand sealed and labelled as the exclusive Bundaberg Eight Year old
rums.
Variations: 2007 bottles came in a smaller presentation box about 75mm square, these
bottles were not individually numbered, however the number on the right hand side
of the batch code on the rear label is a unique bottle number for quality control.
