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'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??

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!

En premier au nez fort caramelisé, par contre au niveaux le caramel n'est pas présent mais fait place à un bon goût boisé et chaud, à conseiller dans le bar

Goes great with ice, Coke, and a lime. Very good for the price.

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.
