Bacardi 8 rum

Bacardi 8

CJ
had this rum recently

United States | Aged | 40% ABV

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.

I believe that Rums begin to change their distinct taste after 8 years. After that, they lose their essence as a Rum. To me, Bacardi 8 is truly one of those rums that carry that tradition "Rum bite," flavor, taste, and experience. It goes well neat and with coke.

My brother bought me a bottle of Havana Club Selection... and I spent weeks trying to find something that came close to the flavor....I finally found it in this Bacardi 8! It is VERY close... the first sip hits you with an intense sweetness, but that goes away quickly and then tons of flavor hit the palate! It also has that wonderful oak barrel flavor that is so hard to find in a good, but not expensive rum! This is a wonderful sipping rum, especially with the right kind of cigar! (A. Fuentes Hemingway is my legal choice!) This will not disappoint you, and you can not beat the price! High quality at a very reasonable price!

Un ron que puede ser tomado en las rocas o con poca coca cola

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.

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

Great sipper!

I bought some of this on a fishing trip with a couple friends turned out to be one of my top 10 rums not to strong or light just right for me

A great smooth taste. Warm, creamy finish.

I keep coming back to this rum. The smoothness is very similar to the Captain Morgan's Private stock; but the taste is better. I just wish it came in a bigger bottle.

I rated this a 9 not because out of all the rums, it's that superior. It deserves this rating because it's a great value for the price. Not every rum needs to be high end. This has a great taste for a price that's a non-factor. Good for mixed drinks requiring a dark rum but my favorite with this one is just with Coke.
