To mark 135 years, Bundaberg Rum is releasing one of its most sought after but elusive limited edition rums, the Bundaberg Rum Distillers No. 3.

Bundaberg Rum have been operating since 1888, when seven friends from Bundaberg began fermenting molasses in response to the booming sugarcane industry. After a few trials Bundaberg Rum was born.

The Bundaberg Rum Distillers No. 3 was first released in 2004, and returned in 2013 to celebrate 125 years, and has since become somewhat of a collectors item. 

The No. 3 is described as a special blend of triple filtered Bundaberg Rum that delivers a smooth, silky finish.

The limited-edition No. 3 is available to purchase nationally for RRP $70 (700mL, ABV 43%).

SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.
