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.

Some unpleasant flavour and nothing special at all. There are much better competitors even for better price (e.g. Barcelo Imperial)

I was delighted to find that this was a good sipping Rum from Bacardi. The majority of their Rum I find are only good in cocktails but this can easily be enjoyed straight.
A little bit to little sweetness to me, but great subtle smoky, woody, spice notes. With good character and depth. Very enjoyable!

Good quality for the price. Not as good as others I have tried in higher price range.

Not quite an 8, but a very solid (and respectable) 7.

This 8 year old amber rum has a mild scent of whiskey Strong aroma and a little biting on the tongue when sipped. As suggested on the Bacardi website this rum is great in an Old Fashioned. In my opinion it is better when mixed in a cocktail. I never did a direct comparison to other rums on my shelf. When i do I will update this review to confirm where it stands. I feel it falls between an El Dorado 8 and 12 in terms of its taste.

I could not clearly identify flavors . Too alcoholic for me. Extra added sugar.
A bit expensive.

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.
