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.

Nice subtle smoky flavour. I prefer as a mixer but can be used as a sipping rum in a pinch.

Bacardi 8 is a nice rum to drink alone, with cola is very good.

One of Barcardi's better rums, nice light caramel taste great mixed with cola. Golden brown color that gets lost when mixed with anything. An okay sipping rum but not great

Nice smell, medium to low sweetness, nice balanced taste, no big complexity but makes a decent cuba libre. This was my first dark rum that made me change my mind about rum as everything I tried before on dark rums was barely ok (like HC7 or Bacardi 5) or simply terrific (Arehucas carta de oro). Typical bar choice where you don't find high quality rums.

Un rhum correct, simple (presque trop) et facile à boire, un peu sucré. heureusement, trouvé en promo à moins de 18 € chez Au...chan...
Wonderful with cola

I rated this a 9 not because out of all the rums, it's that superior. It deserves this rating because it's a great value for the price. Not every rum needs to be high end. This has a great taste for a price that's a non-factor. Good for mixed drinks requiring a dark rum but my favorite with this one is just with Coke.

Tosto.
Duro.
Un rum forte. Secco. Un "pugno".
Sapori di legno e pelle. Con un gusto finale, dopo avergli fatto prendere una bella boccata d'ossigeno, che rasenta il caramello.
Non abbastanza "gentile" per un rum da degustare e decisamente troppo buono per sprecarlo in cocktail e mischioni vari.
Una piacevole incognita.
Richiede tempo per imparare ad apprezzarlo.... tempo ben impiegato a tale scopo.
Molto carina la bottiglia con intreccio di .... vimini?

Among rum lovers it is quite fashionable to hate Bacardi, however this is a surprisingly good rum. Have only tried it as a sipper, which already shows it is a quality product. Nice smooth caramel flavour with no heavy alcohol burn. I rate my rums pure on quality so gave it a 7, however if rating price/quality this scores an 8-9.

Sugar: 12 gpl. A good value rum. This is not a complicated rum with lots of different aromas and tastes. Smooth with tastes of oak, caramel, and vanilla and a moderate amount of warmth on the palate. It's a sipper if you like the taste, but I would use this only as a mixing rum.
