Details: Bundaberg Red follows a similar process as standard Bundaberg UP rum, being
double distilled then aged in vats for 2 years. The rum is then filtered 3 times,
first it is chill filtered, second is an activated carbon filtration and finally
filtered using an Australian Red Gum filter. Bundaberg Red has been crafted to deliver
an incredibly smooth taste while retaining the unique character for which Bundaberg
Rum is famous. Enjoy neat or with your favourite mixer.
Variations: To date, Bundaberg Red has had 4 Label variations. The Original regular
bottom label (trapezium with a semi circle at the top) was replaced in late 2011

Tree in the middle. This also coincided with the change of the bear on the top label
and a revised Cap design.
