Bacardi 8

One of my personal favorites. Great for relaxing or hanging with friends.

One of my favorites. Kind of sweet, somewhat syrupy but very enjoyable neat.

Muy buen ron, color ligeramente oscuro. Agradable aroma y suave al gusto pudiendo percibir el ahumado.
Puede beberse con o sin hielos.
Vale la apena.

En rom som kan drikkes rent, men er bedst sammen med is.
Skal næsten bruges til mixede drinks.

a decent sipper. A cheaper alternative to some of the pricier darks.

A good rum for me. I don't mind as an after dinner treat.

Now that I've explored this rum a little more, I bumped my rating one notch. Somewhat sweet, fairly smooth with a moderately rich rum flavor. I rate a rum tasted neat without considering price. If rated solely on the quality for price, I'd give this one 10 stars. It's probably the best value in rum I've found and definitely a keeper. It's one of several I recommend to friends who want to explore rum beyond light Puerto Rican rum and the Captain.

I enjoy the heck out of this! Smooth n flavorful. Excellent price point! Gives the big boys a run for their money...

Great sipper!

A quite smooth drink, compared to what you usually can expect from the brand!

Smooth molasses, liquorice, apricot, prune..
Very good rum straight or on the rocks. Highly recommend it for the price (30$ canadian)

This is my favorite rum that is easy to find. Of course there's better gems... but they're usually either harder to find or way more expensive. This, to me, is dollar for dollar the best rum I have had. It's good straight, but also mixes well.

Un bon rhum vieux, moelleux, équilibré ... classique, très abordable.

Disappointment for an 8 year old rum this was harsh and not a great blend of flavour more ruff taste that stops beginners from liking rum

And I see why. Quite enjoyable.

Nose: Quite enjoyable light floral.
Feel: A little light and watery but warms up increasing the flavours along the way. Not overly harsh but a little warm at the end.
Taste: Light caramel, not much wood or other complexity.
Colour: You can see in the picture as the bottle is not tinted.
Presentation: Nice bottle.

While not quite as good as the limited reserve, at a mere fraction of the cost, I would pick this one every day.

I tried it on a whim one day and was pleasantly surprised. It's a good dark mixing rum. I can't stand the regular Bacardi but this was pretty smooth.

Tastes like Bacardi Black just..... better. Smoother I guess. If your a fan of the Bacardis than this is quite nice. I have been drinking far too many Bacardi Blacks myself so that taste kind of bores me.

I really wanted this to be on my top shelf only to discover it makes a better mixer than a sipper. Not a bad rum for the price, better in a dark and stormy.

Bacardi 8 has a spot on my mixing shelf for now.

Not a bad rum, but for the price there are better aged rum.

that Bacardi can do more than appeal to the masses! A solid sipper or mixing rum

Smooth, smooth, smooth! Very drinkable. Subtle Smoky, woody, spice notes. Not overly sweet with great character and depth. Very enjoyable!

Possibly only Bacardi I can recommend without washing my mouth out with bleach. Quality is lack luster, but that's to be expected. For the price though, many other rums out shine it.

Una gran mezcla creada

Coming from bacardi it's fairly common and good value. Just about drinkable straight but maybe not enough flavour to work well with a mixer.

This is the Bacardi to get if you want to have a great sipping and mixing rum. Forget about the white one called "superior" and buy this one instead.
