EDDIE MacGregor's love for Bundaberg Rum scored him the opportunity to be one of 30 Australians to try the new limited-edition premium rum Master Distillers' Collection - Double Barrel.

The Calliope resident said he was privileged to have the opportunity.

After submitting a few answers to questions to enter the competition, he received a taste-test bottle and a congratulatory certificate.

The self-confessed Bundaberg Rum fan has a collection of limited-edition flavours and bottles.

"I have around 40 bottles," he said. "My favourite from the Master Distillers' Collection is the 10-year-old, but this is right up there and I'm going to give it eight out of 10."

He said the first thing he noticed when trying Double Barrel was how smooth it was.

"I've been a fan of Bundy Rum for 20 years. Having tried a number of premium varieties, I was looking forward to seeing what Double Barrel tasted like."

Mr MacGregor said Double Barrel was a rum to keep for special occasions.

"It's the type of rum that will appeal to the mature drinker in search of a premium flavour," he said.

"It should be savoured for enjoyment at special occasions like weddings, birthdays or an anniversary."

Bundaberg Rum Master Distillers' Collection - Double Barrel 700ml is the latest limited-edition release in the award-winning series by Master Distillers' Collective.
