Anejo rums are starting to gain a greater level of traction in the marketplace, and Bacardi has come to understand this. The 8 years spent in cask has allowed for a beautiful sipping spirit, as well as serious mixer to develop.
It has a thicker mouthfeel than many other rums, and it may be from added sugar, though nothing is cloying at all with the sweetness. I find much of the flavor to be smooth, and teasing. Molasses, toffee, spices, and pleasant, smokey dark chocolate that opens into a touch more sweetness and nuttiness with water. Coconut water is a real winner for mixing, otherwise its quite nice on its own, or over ice. Picked this bottle up for $18.

Very disappointing rum, aging not filling at all, sharp alcohol and no aftertaste.

Orange yuckiness, artificial and bitter even nose smells rancid. Cant sip it, would be ok in an old fashion

Canny. A slight burn. Smells nice. A bit medicine-y

Ezt is meg kellett kóstólni, nem lett jobb a véleményem a bacardiról... pedig lehetne 8 éves is

Surprisingly nice to me, I see some bad reviews on here but I really don't hate this one. Definitely tobacco and cherry, and no real sharp edge.

This would be good in a rum and coke. But it is NOT a sipper. Thin, no complexity and out of balance. A little oak and a spec of vanilla. Nothing else. Unlike most Bacardi it is drinkable but would be much better mixed with something this rum is not, something smooth and flavorful.

This rum is not bad for the price I pay, but since I can add a few more dollars for the 10 year old I’m not really going for this one anymore.

I actually like the cheaper Bacardi black better. I found the black more smooth and enjoyable, this one seem to have a little harshness to it. Just a more expensive middle ground rum, I won't buy it again.

I have a few of the old bottles when it came with a black bag.
It’s good stuff a little bit harsh but I always like to a piece of ice to bring out the flavors and tone down the bite and buen
