Variations: Port Barrel – the second limited release from the Master Distillers’
Collection. The Bundaberg Master Distillers’ Collective used their expertise to
finish special rum reserves in port barrels and then add them to a perfectly balanced
blend of 6 year old rums. These port barrels are from the famous South Australia
Barossa region and have been ageing port for up to 35 years. Allowing the rum the
right amount of contact with port infused oak barrels is a challenging art.
The result is one that the Master Distillers’ Collective is truly proud of.
The unique square decanter bottles with tapered shoulders were designed by BDC and
manufactured in China and had synthetic stoppers.
The labels have 7 different prefixes codes – NO. BU, ND, AB, ER, GR and UM. NO.

with a Limited Edition Master Distillers’ Collection Gift Box. The gift box was
also sent to the first 250 phone orders. BU, ND, AB, ER, GR and UM codes 00001 to
approx 11,000 were available from bottle shops nationally. $AUD80.00 RRP.
