Buckle up, Bundaberg is taking you to the underground of cool where you can get their new [white rum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-rum), [Bundaberg Five](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bundaberg). This journey is lead by a [singing barman](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-away) in a white tux through a white and gold dream-like lounge full of players and beautiful women.

The Bundaberg Five spot was created by Leo Burnett Sydney and was directed by Tom Kuntz. The falsetto-ranged song is an original of the creatives at Leo Burnett. The brand message is heard throughout the lyrics, "Not a dandy's drink, it's a manly drink. Not a bozo's drink, it's a manly drink." True to the Bundaberg way, Bundaberg Five is positioned as the problem solver for someone who goes to a ho-hum bar, but in reality, "wants it all."
