Bundaberg Rum cunt.

too busy fighting dropbears and immigrants, cunt

Pretending Bundy is actually good or compares to Caribbean rums is poser tier. If you just get Havana Club Especial when it's on special it mogs the crap out of it for mixing with ginger beer from the other, much better, drinks company in the same town.

Some dudes are actually trying to make knock off Tequila here, which is interesting and sort of makes sense given the climate but I haven't tried any of it.

At least we have Coopers, James Squire, James Boag etc.

all liquor and alcohol except wine is taxed to shit

Low IQ and spirits require thinking more than 5 minutes into the future.

>>21397146 (OP)
Can’t really speak for rum but my understanding of whisky is that the climate is important for cask maturation and year round warm to hot weather is the last thing you want

>>21397417
Rum ages much faster than other spirits because of the climate. 8 yo old rum is like 12 yo whisky.
In the end every region known for typical spirits will argue with some bullshit why their storageing is the best.

>>21397146 (OP)
they only drink goon and E85 in straya

>>21397146 (OP)
Both Tasmania and QLD are huge producers of rum and whisky respectively.

it's the weather. Nobody wanted to drink spirits in 40c before refrigerated mixers were a thing.

For me it's the Penfolds.

>>21397146 (OP)
Has anyone ever tried fermenting and distilling stuff out of the bush potatoes and weird indigenous plants they have down there? Or would that be insensitive to the aboriginals because they never figured out how to do that?

I bought a couple of these not long ago. I got the merlot.

The beer isn't even relevant. It's goonbag, cider, home distillate, and bootleg imports for aussie alkies.
>>21398326
Rum and whisky are not 38% ABV underproofed, watered-down swill.

>>21398572
Nah they did that just fine in the US and Mexico.

>>21398326
that's why OP said "relevant", it's an undefined word that allows him to freely ignore say, Jim Murray making Tasmanian whisky reach meme status more than a decade ago

We've got plenty. None for you though, dickhead.

>>21397374
cider is counted as wine btw.

Austraila isn't allowed to have real booze because of the Abos. Their wine and spirits is capped at under 20% ABV

>>21397146 (OP)
>doesn't have any relevant rum or whiskey
I mean, we have both of those things but they're not very good
Australians don't give a fuck about making quality booze because we've always used it as a commodity for trade as well as personal consumption (not even joking, look up something called the 'Rum Rebellion')
There's no real point in making quality booze if some other cunt is just going to drink it, that's the logic

>>21398582
*topples your government*

>>21398878
?? you can buy 40% whiskey and vodka is all 37%

>>21398869
We pay the same price for cider as beer though

>>21398983
No we don't. 375ml cans of cider at 4.5% are around $2.30 each. Beer at 4.% is $3.50.

>>21398582
It's shithouse now, especially the expensive stuff
They market pretty much exclusively to the chinese who have a sweeter palate.
I tried a recentish Grange and it was almost like grape juice.

They're a Chinese mining colony with a legacy contract to the American surveillance state. Nine tenths of the island isn't even considered habitable and the other tenth is fucking Melbourne, where you eat doner kebab avocado toast at a cafe whilst crafting your next Medium.com post about how it's actually really empowering that a "refugee" raped your daughter. Within city limits, the beverage of choice is a hard seltzer advertised by two homosexuals from Youtube. In the bush, the aboriginal white Australians prefer cheap wine ("goon"), cheaper beer ("VB"), and sniffing petrol. You wake up in the morning and wonder if British "transportation" was really more humane than capital punishment.

>>21398878
No we just make them live in dry communities and in return we pretend they aren't raping their kids.

>>21398878
>>21400198
Look, I know it's really easy to rag on the aboriginal white Australians, but it's not their fault. They're genetic failures that were exiled from England and never stood a chance at evolving into human beings on this horrible little island of spiders and crocodiles. The best that a White Abo can hope for in life, is a free "Bunnings snag" on election day, which is of course legally mandatory (or else they get shot).

Naturally such a weak, slovenly nation could do nothing when their Chinese investment overlords arrived to take control of the continent. But the white abos are treated well, they are allowed to keep their tribal traditions like "Australia Day", Blooming Onion, and Shrimp on the Barbie. We actually respect their ingenuity for inventing foods like "candy sprinkles on white bread", or "fairy bread" in their childlike language, a prime example of aboriginal "bush tucker".

Nigger I WISH we had the title of aboriginal. If we did we'd be able to get on the gibs and sit around drinking all day while we murder each other with sticks like our forefathers intended
