Bacardi 8

Definitely had the richer yet more mellow charcuterie of an aged rum vs most of what the brand produced. A nice woody flavor on the palate but just a hair too sweet. Would buy again for a bargain but likely won’t pursue over other comparable choices

She has Barcadi Silver, Barcadi Gold, and this. I cracked it open, poured a nip and thought the visit will go much better.

I know “better than Bacardi silver” is hardly a good slogan, but I’m not knocking it.

En helt okej rom. Ingen smaksensation men inte dålig,lite stark men söt. Ingen spritig smak.

Tasted neat in a glencairn
Nose: smells like rum, once the alcohol wafts away...a bit sweet and single note, like rubbing alcohol and a Werther's, if you concentrate you might find a little coffee, a little caramel, a little fruit
Mouth: not great here - some vanilla, some wood, some alcohol burn
Finish: short. Some raw wood spice for a second...
For the price point and age, it certainly won't offend anyone, but not a pour I'll be reaching for anytime soon. Boring and cloying.

Good for the price. Strangely enough, the bottle I got beat out my bottle of Ron Del Barrilito 3-star.

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.

I've been drinking and enjoying Bacardi 8 for the past 10 years, but the new bottle I bought recently had a new label and I see that it is now made in Puerto Rico. In the past I understood that it was the last rum that Bacardi produced in the Bahamas. Anyway, this recent bottle is very bad and nothing like what Bacardi 8 has been for years. What's up??

This is a good rum. Drank it as a sipper and it was ok. Nose: Apple and rasins. Palate: smooth with taste of apple and cinnamon, not to sweet.

A bit better than the other, simpler Bacardis, but still most suitable for cocktails

This is exactly the taste that 99% people imagine when you say rum. Then i discavered that rum can taste better than your imagination, but it takes time to enjoy this rum. Not for beginers.
