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.

A decent choice when you find yourself in a generic bar that doesn't specialize in rum. I can happily drink this, though I slighty prefer the Havana Club anejo especial. Bacardi 8 is very smooth, with a pleasant amount of oakiness. In fact: it's excells in the oak-department. The taste profile is very coherent, which I always appreciate, there is nothing weird in there (but nothing very interesting either). It feels very solid. But the finish is short and the initial taste slighty too sweet. It seems to get sweeter after every sip - probably sugar added - and at the end your taste buds are quite saturated. It's better with ice to take the edge of the sweetness.

I live in Puerto Rico now, so I am enjoying working my way through Caribbean Rums one by one. Even though this is officially an eight year-old Rum. But the specs on this one state that eight is the youngest Rum in the bottle. Normal Bacardi leaves me flat (at best). But being that Bacardi is made here in Puerto Rico, I wanted to explore their broader range of Spirits outside the mass market firewater available on the middle shelves of the mainland mega-marts.

What a pleasant surprise! Excellent body, good legs, drops cling like gems to the side of the glass. Full of vanilla, orange zest, and toffee notes along with a hint of pineapple and toasted oak. The high rating is a function of quality AND of value. I paid about US $25 and would have paid above $30 (shhhhh ... don't tell them).

Dont buy it, a commerce product with an 8 logo. No flavour, only alcohol smell. Pyrat is better in this price range.

Pre mňa bol tento rum naozaj úvod do sveta lepších rumov. Ide o mierne ostrejší rum,no s peknym dúhovým charakterom. Vhodný samotný i s ľadom,prípadne k cigare. Pre ľudí ,ktorí s rumami začínajú a nechcú sa hneď na začiatok "presadiť" odporúčam.

Buen ron, buen precio, en duda para tomarlo solo. Muy bueno para mezclas.

This was probably my first quality rum years ago, and it blew my mind then. Since then I have drunk more and changed tastes, so it doesn't rank as high. Not a bad shout if you're moving out of the domestic grade rum

Quite surprised with the taste. A bit strong, but overall a good taste. Never thought I'd say that about a bacardi...

С первого глотка чувствуется спиртуозность. На вкус жесткий, но дубок с ванилькой присутсвует.
Больше бы я его не купил!
