Bacardi 8-Year is a blended rum, filtered using the Bacardi-pioneered charcoal filtering system and aged for eight years.
This rum was not released to the public until 1995, when the first limited edition Bacardi 8 was sold with a sherry oak finish in a Baccarat crystal decanter. Despite a price tag of $400 per bottle, the rum was hugely popular and led to the larger release of the blend without the collectors' features and price.

Has a weird smokey after taste. I do not like it very much.

Ok as a sipping rum but not super smooth. Great with a touch of water, sparkling water with twist of lime or a bit of ginger ale.

This is not the worst from Bacardi and it is quite drinkable to be honest.

Smooth and neat rum with rastes of vanilla and honey.
Something that is needed at home

Nothing not to like been through many a bottle smooth enough neat, great rum and coke. My tastes have grown more complex for depth and lingering flavors. But Bacardi’s first offering I will drink. Good value unique flavors to this and Díaz.

Good for the price. Strangely enough, the bottle I got beat out my bottle of Ron Del Barrilito 3-star.

Smells sweet but also oaky.
"It is a well balanced rum. When sipped, or mixed with a little ice or water the Bacardi 8 is very decent. It’s very smooth and easy to sip."

Thin and watery 6 out of 10

No complexity, watery, alcoholic smell and taste. Not sipper but maybe a mixer.
