Bacardi 8 rum

Bacardi 8

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 held off on trying for a long time this because I simply didn't expect to like it much. But I was rather surprised by the Bacardi Diez (10 year), so I thought I'd give this one a try. I like this even better (as do several other reviewers, interestingly enough) as it's even smoother!

A very smooth rum for the price ($21.99 at Total Wines & More, 2018). And it's rather tasty too. Like the Diez, this smells and tastes of molasses, vanilla, oak, and light spice. But it goes down even easier. This a fabulous rum for the money!

I think other reviewers might be subconsciously biased against the brand and/or low price.

Finom, de nem iszogatnám magában. Valami koktél hoz el tudnám képzelni.

From all alternatives created by Bacardí Family, this one is my favorite. Perfect for neat sipping due to marvelous notes on tropical fruits, oak and sweetness on palate. You can mix it but it will be a crime; just sip and enjoy.

Good for sipping and mixing cocktails. Dark color and good taste.

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

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.
