I’ve had worst Bacardi rum. I was expecting more from this one. Still not a very good rum. I come to the conclusion that Bacardi rums are not for me.

Not as nice as some of Bacardi's other more expensive Rums but we'll worth a go.

I remember the Ocho being taste and round in mouth. But I also remember being a bit advanced in my spirit taste by then..if you know what I mean

Opened the bottle 1,5yrs ago. Had a sip and thought what the hell is this. Left it alone for some time with my dad emptying half of the bottle during that time. Now opened it and poured a little. Does not smell bad at all! Does not taste bad at all! Should sit in a glass for a minute, because alcohol is still noticeable. Pretty Plantation Grande Reserva and Barbados XO smell-wise, but less sweet and with little coco. That’s a good thing. Actually pretty good on tongue, although it still has a burn. Average rum...but still a bit above average. Bottle says the rum has been coloured. Not sure if naturally or artificially.

5.8-6.0

There are better rums at this price point, such as Plantation 5 Year and Flor De Cana 7 Year. That said, this rum is pretty good too. It's somewhat sweet, and not too much of an alcoholic bite. Perfectly sippable, and a pretty good flavor.

Sure, bacardi might be very commercial but they do have some good/very good additions! This is one of them, very drinkable, straight or with coke. Pretty decent rum imo

This one is as bad or worse than the 8 years. I dont know what all of you that give this rum a high rating have been drinkig lately but this is nowhere near a decent rum.

De sabores fuertes a alcohol. Me recordo un mount gay pero de peor calidad

Pour on some ice and it's not terrible but definitely not what one might hope for.

N- Dust of wood shaves with inviting dried orange and hint of coffee underlay, started well but nosedive to hollowness. (80/17)

P- Some nice cocoa and orange peel with mellow coat of oak. But way too light and diluted for serious sipping enjoyment. (80/17)

F- Short, touch of nice dryness but lacking overall. (78/16)

Body / Balance- Waste of aging time with hefty dilution, what is the point of aging it at all? (78/16)

Weighted Rate- 66pt
