.
On the bloody work of rum." In our own waters within the bailiwick of the late burgomaster of ... The ship is under command of the Heer of the Dunderburg. .......which makes me think this is still in the Northern bit of the world

Sorry folks I meant BUNDERBURG - I was thinking of an American warship called Dunderberg earlier in the day and my mind gets fuddled with old age, never mind a glass or two of single malt! My brother, a naturalised (or neutered )Aussie brought me a bottle a couple of years and after three attempts to drink it I am holding it back for stripping varnish. Regards, Walter.

It may say "Bunderburg" on the label, and be made in Bunderburg, but like the Dunderburg name better as it more accurately describes the contents. He he

The city and distillery are Bundaberg.
I visited the sugar mills there in 1971, when the railways bringing in the cane from the fields to the mills were using steam locos. The whole atmosphere close to the mills was redolant of molasses and rum.
I am not usually a rum drinker, but buy a 'Bundy' occasionally, when I have come down with a cold which needs clearing.
In Australia, it is a common drink for underage kids: Bundy & coke. I don't know what proportions a typical teenager would choose.
My reply to a phone survey 'Mr Smith, what mixers do you use with spirits?' was 'Sweetie, if you need to use mixers, you shouldn't be drinking spirits'.
However, you could get some coke to help you get through your gift bottle, or invite around the neighbourhood teenagers.
Failing that, send it to our member on the Scottish island, where motor fuel is more expensive than whisky.
