The age label on th rum is most typically associated with "mixer only" blends. I picked this up simply because I generally like Dominican rums (and had never seen this one in the LCBO) , but I was prepared to be underwhelmed.
However, drinking this straight up was very pleasant. Not an aggressive taste, but subtle and lingering spice. No alcohol burn or fake sweetness I would typically find in a young rum.
Hope this becomes regular stock !

Initial impression was just Ok - 6 score rum. Giving 7 for. It is not complex, but solid and has delicious Dominican spirit. Spicy and not yet too sweet it's ok for occasional sip and\or for cocktail.

This rum is smooth and sweet on the rocks or neat. It is mellow yet complex and switches from spices to fruit. As a mixer it really goes great with Coke and ginger beer.

Not as nice for sipping as the Bacoo 12 year, but really just as good as the 8 year for mixing up a drink.
Good bargain overall.

Anyone who's has Bumbu Original and thought it too sweet would enjoy this rum. Similar in taste, but far less sweet. Alcohol is very present in this rum, which will warm you up on those cooler nights on deck. Decent tasting, great price, perfect for the crew members you want to hang onto.

There are three Bacoo rums available...the 5-year, the 8-year, and the 12-year. Since I have a bottle of each I am going to review all three today. They have a website (http://bacoorum.com/) which contains the legend of the Bacoo along with various information concerning the company.

The aroma in the snifter is quite nice. A bit sweet. Warm amber in color. Swirling it in my snifter reveals good legs.

The flavor is nice but seems a bit too sweet for a 5-year old rum but not cloyingly sweet I makes me think it has been sugared a bit. It feels a little oily on the tongue and has distinct butterscotch and vanilla flavors. There is some oak flavor via tannin in the wood barrels. A mild burn in the throat but nothing harsh.

At around $20 a bottle it is a decent rum for the price. Not a bad rum by any stretch of the imagination. Just nothing that stands out.

Bottle is solid but not too heavy, labeling is intriguing and I love corked bottles. Smell reminds me of my youth. On drinking, it is very warm all the way through. Texture is rather oily/smooth, and the taste is of butter. I don't notice the sweetness very much, though it is there. The aftertaste of age with a trace of vanilla lingers after it goes down. I very much enjoy this rum.

Slightly above average, nothing special but has no major disadvantages.
