    Bundaberg expands range with new Campfire rum

    Australian distillery Bundaberg Rum is expanding its liquor range with the launch of Bundaberg Campfire.

    Bundaberg Campfire has an ABV of 37 per cent and is made from aged reserves, combined with rum, and aged in bourbon barrels. It boasts a mellow profile and a blend of toasted caramel and vanilla notes, complemented by burnt sugar and toffee aromas.

    Sarah Watson, blending and innovation manager, Bundaberg Rum, said the brand understands customers who seek fresh innovations within the dark spirits category, and the new drink addresses this demand.

    “This is a subtle blend for us, made smooth and mellow thanks to the influence of lightly charred Bourbon barrels,” she added.

    “We’re excited to introduce a product that introduces Bundy fans and Bourbon enthusiasts to a fresh and intriguing flavor profile.”

    Bundaberg Campfire is sold at an RRP of $55 for a 700ml bottle in major retail outlets and will join the brand’s permanent range of products.

  • Hong Kong and Macau – Bundy’s new export destinations?

    Hong Kong and Macau – Bundy’s new export destinations?

    BUNDABERG Regional Council continues to engage with senior representatives of the Hong Kong Food Association with a view to establishing trade links to supply Hong Kong and Macau with locally grown produce.

    A delegation from the Hong Kong Food Council, Hong Kong Food Hygiene Administrators Association and Food Professionals Association visited Bundaberg from September 9 to 11 at the invitation of Mayor Mal Forman to meet with local horticultural experts and educators.

    Acting Mayor David Batt said the Bundaberg Horticultural Forum provided an exceptional opportunity to showcase the regions extensive produce portfolio.

    “The meeting in Bundaberg has since been followed up by a presentation in Hong Kong with the Hong Kong Trade and Investment Queensland (TIQ) Commissioner, Angela To presenting a detailed overview of opportunities in the Bundaberg Region.

    “It is important that as a region, we access every opportunity that comes our way regarding promoting our potential for investment, development and export.”

    Cr Batt said discussions would be ongoing between the two parties.

    “Hopefully, a further meeting may be organised for later in the year to build on the momentum these recent meetings have established,” he said.

    “The connections we have established with Nanning through our sister city relationship and now the opportunities that are being presented through this growing association with Hong Kong certainly add an exciting dimension to the expansion of horticultural activities through the Bundaberg region.”

    According to Cr Batt any return visit would be held in November to coincide with the 2015 Hong Kong Food Fiesta which runs from November 27 to December 1.

    “This would present an incredible opportunity for local producers who may wish to display their products in such a vibrant marketplace environment,” he said.

    Council economic development spokesman Greg Barnes said council’s economic development unit will continue to nurture the emerging relationship and work closely with TIQ to assist businesses interested in export opportunities with Hong Kong.

    “Anyone interested in promoting their products to the retail and wholesale sectors of the Hong Kong food industry can contact Council’s Economic Development team on 1300 883 699 or email info@investbundaberg.com.au.

    “Alternatively, contact Dion Taylor (0448 197 835) who has been instrumental in co-ordinating and organizing the business to business meetings between local producers and Hong Kong food industry professionals,” said Cr Barnes.
