Bacardi Reserva Ocho Rare Gold 8-Year

Simple, easy drinking rum. Nothing remarkable. Better than I expected maybe.

This was my very first entry to the world of RUM. We were on diving trip in Mexico and I know, that I don't like the Tequila. One day I saw this piece in Wallmart, so I bought one and it was not bad. Also friends were excited and we all imediately switched to Bacardi :) Next day happened something strange - they started the sale offer in the Wallmart "one bottle with two glasses in bundle"... Man, after some 10 days in Mexico, we left there maybe 40 glasses :) (BTW, the offer was really mad, if I remember, it was about 14 euro! for 0.7l) I took one bundle back to Slovakia. From this point, I started to collect and sip the rums and discovering the wide varieties of taste and smell... :) Now, after some years, I think that this is "a good enough" rum of big brand, but not definitely the best one of my collection.

I prefer the bacardi 4 year old just a bit more...

To say the description on the bottle makes this suitable as a sipper, I was somewhat disappointed by the strong alcoholic flavour.

Definitely not as smooth as I'd have hoped.

With a decent ginger beer however, it was drinkable. But for the price I wouldn't be going out of my way to find another bottle.

This rum is quite smooth and the best way to drink it cold and try not to mix it. I recommend to drink without any soda drinks. It's a good rum.

Just bought this to fill the spot of my golden Puerto Rican rum for the tiki bar El bueno!

Haven’t tasted a Bacardi for long precisely because of its very commercial nature. I came across this variant in an airport lounge, and I thought I’d give it a try. It’s not completely disappointing but I’d never buy it for myself.

Decent sipper, fair price. I enjoyed it. Would i try it again? I would.

Nem túl édes inkább kicsit "kommersz" lecsengése van, ittam már rosszabbat is.

A lighter colour in the glass than I was expecting. Surprised me on the taste, enjoyable with some nice body. I can taste sugar but not too much. I think I will buy again, nice! Edit enjoyed over several nights now, improves. 6.5 really
