At the price, it will be interesting to see how long it takes for the 1888 bottles to "sell out".

I don't think it is as much about selling as it is about status. All the big Whisky producers are doing this and now rum has jumped in on the same wagon (i.e. Angostura, Appleton, Bacardi etc).

I get it why they would want to make something fancy for the occasion and that's OK but there is no need for it to be that expensive. It's all about the packaging and marketing not so much about the rum.

some people want to kiss the asses of Bundaberg Rum managers, others know they are getting ripped off big time and wont buy it for that reason

ill let you guess who the ass kisser is in this thread.

I would have to agree that this release is more about the "collectable" more so then the drinkable product.

I am just sharing the latest news and updates on Bundy Rum with the rum enthusiasts worldwide, everyone is entitled to their opinions but not sure the language displayed above by "bundabergrum" is entirely appropriate for such a forum as this.

@bundabergrum:
who cares about B...berg? LOL
Here no one knows it exists and when by chance (?) they know the name and (unfortunately) tried it once, but sure not twice! LOL
My explanation is : the island is far too big. Mega LOL

Lol troj,

I was just giving my opinion, im sure the word "ass" is in the dicktionary, if you are offended by the word you should probably get a word filter on your web browser which changes swear words and other offensive words into more manageable words for you.

Jolipapa,

What we should be talking about is a rum called "beenleigh" rum, they have released a new lineup of rums which taste very nice and are reasonably priced.

@bundabergrum:
You did not understand.
I just mean that if all the rum companies were doing the lobbying you do, this place could no more be called a forum!
And talking about sheer rum, there are so many lovely sunny islands rums I did not try yet, that I'd surely need more than nine lives when the turn comes to any rum from Australia...
Am I clear enough?
