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 swear it is really difficult to distinguish this from other Bacardi rums like Reserva. This one is sort of ok but very lackluster. Thin, not complex. No balance or real bite. It just is a boring. You can’t pick this out of the flock. Bacardi just isn't a very good distillery. What they do really well is marketing and merchandising.

Barcadi Ocho is a good entry rum for people who want to broaden their experience into rum from other spirits.

smokey almost whiskey like finish, a good rum for scotch drinkers. Was hoping for more depth of tasting notes.
A real rum.. not much flavor, not so smooth.. but not too rough.

E gusta el sabor, la suavidad, aunque se nota ese regusto alcohólico un tanto fuerte por eso la nota que aunque se pudieran dar décimas no le pondría muchoas, para combinar no lo usaría y en cuanto al precio no está mal 14'95 / litro, si repetiré? No sé, hay otros que me gustan más y no son más caros

I prefer the Bacardi 8 as a mixing rum when I’m making a rum and coke. It had a good molasses flavor that pairs nice with the soda. I find it to be a little bitter when drank neat.

While majorly not an 8 year old rum, there are still good oak notes. A well balanced blend with strong toffee, oak, and vanilla notes.

A workable rum

I have to admit I did not have very high aspirations with this rum. After all, Bacardi tends to be lumped in with the cheaper rums just about every package store carries (along with Capt. Morgan and Malibu). However this rum is not all that bad. Not great, mind you, but when you are stuck in Podunk, U.S.A. in the backwoods of some rural part of the country and they only carry three brands of rum (I base this on personal experience), there may be a chance this rum will be sold. If so, then it's gotta be your choice since the other two brands suck in my humble opinion.
Granted, this isn't going to be a top-of-the-line rum by any stretch of the imagination. Take it for what it is...a mass produced aged rum lacking a lot of bells and whistles but containing a fairly high standard of quality. The aroma in the bottle has a bit of astringency about it but the flavor does not really represent that. Instead there is a noticeable oak flavor to it as well as some caramel and vanilla. Then there is a bit of spiciness to it. The burn isn't harsh so I consider it a fairly smooth rum. Overall it's a usable rum when nothing else better is available.
