Bundaberg Rum is a dark rum produced in Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia. It is Australia's only well known, locally produced spirit and is known locally as Bundy. Bundaberg Rum came about in 1888 after some sugar millers proposed to use the molasses produced in the refinement of sugar cane to make rum. Production ceased from 1907 to 1914 and from 1936 to 1939 after fires, the second of which caused rum from the factory to spill into the nearby Burnett River. In 1961, the polar bear was the company's unusual choice for a mascot, as it was thought to imply that the rum would ward off the coldest chill. The Bundaberg Distilling Company owns its own cola producing company, which supplies the cola in their ready-to-drink Bundaberg Rum & Cola products.
