Bundaberg has a pretty good record of limited premium releases under a black label since the mid 90s, when the first 10yr old stock came out.
This one above is from 2009, and was discontinued in 2012.
The 1996 & 1997 releases were superb – they go for 400-500AUD a bottle these days.
Unfortunately I think Bundaberg has used up most of their quality aged stock – the releases dropped from a 10yr average to only 8 for the reserve above, and the volume from 120000 bottles to around 15000. That may also tie in to the closure of a couple of their distilleries in the early 00s.
