Dark golden color. heavy oak notes on the nose and taste, vanilla, slight sweetness.
Very good mixed.

While it's always fun to hate on the big guys, Bacardi 8 is a legitimately decent rum.
Definitely more added sugar than I remember from the old label, with caramel and spice overtaking the bright peach/apricot notes.
It's solidly "okay", but won't be buying another bottle, even on special.
This is one of my go-to every day rums for daiquiris and other rum forward mixes. Itβs readily available and reasonably priced.
The smell was very nice, a little woody. The first sip slid in nicely and tasted very smooth. Then came a little burning taste in my throat and a small aftertaste on the front of my tongue. Very tasty, and in the cola it was absolutely great. I give the ocho an eight!
The first thing that struck me about the Bacardi Reserva Ocho 8 Gold is the ethanol that comes through. It's almost petrochemical in making its first impression and immediately made me imagine that it was stronger than it is. This said, it's a half-decent rum and good with coke. The flavour is a little more bland than I'd have expected but it's a mass market brand so my expectation might've been too high. Anyway, goes down easily although dry as a sipper, with a pleasant spicy back end.

I should rate it 6,5 but i cannot. Drank it strongly chilled and and it's not the best way to taste it.

Lots of alcohol up front, light flavor fading to a hint of butterscotch or maple. The finish is short. It seems as if it would mix well with coke but does not offer much for long slow sipping. Nose is the same as flavor.

Not all that much going on though. Short finish. Light body.

The nose is sweet vanilla, apricots, honey, tobacco and a hint of white oak, the taste starts with sweet apricot jam, then turns to leather and spicy, bitter, woody-tobacco kick. The aftertaste again starts sweet, and turns to spicy bitter, medium length. I would say there is a small amount of sugar added, under 15gpl. If you like rums from Panama, where the tobacco is usually one of the main components of the smell and taste profile, you will most probably like this one too. I would say it is a very different story from Don Q (also Puerto Rico), but for the money - why not. Score between 6 and 7.
Itβs light, slightly floral. Itβs quite a fresh nose with a lot of vanilla and light milk chocolate.
"There is a honeyed sweetness with this rum which does become a little cloying at times. That combines with a slightly bitter finish which becomes a touch over oaked."

Try to get a well lit shot from the front of the rum label

Nose: a lot of alcohol is right up front but if you get deeper into the glass there is some sweetness and butterscotch. Smell dissipates quickly.
Taste: starts of with a small burn that keeps going. Lots of spices in this one and some molasses. Coats your mouth with a pleasant sweetness. Full-bodied.
Finish: sweetness keeps lingering for a while. Ends with a slight intensifying burn while the sweetness remains.
Final: this is my go-to rum when a recipe calls for a gold Puerto Rican rum since it has better mouthfeel and more complexity than other column still rums. It is full-bodied and has a pleasant sweetness which also qualifies it to be a sipper. This is a good example of a rum that can be used for both purposes and would recommend to people that like a clean, relatively cheap and smooth rum.
Notes: added 3 drops of water. Also, I'm an inexpercienced taster so the details might be inaccurate, but it's still really enjoyable for my still-developing palate.
