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.

Very smooth with a smokey, almost Scotch-like finish. An excellent sipping rum with good (if not very strong) flavor, and lacking the heavy kick of many aged rums. I'd recommend this as a first step for anyone looking to explore sipping rums. It's an excellent value for the price (I paid $19.99 for 750 mL), one that doesn't make me hate myself if I decide to use it as a mixer.

Really nice tasting rum. Smooth, with a little bit of smoke and a lot of dark berry fruits. Definitely a sipper. If you like Appleton, this is a rum for you. Also one of the cheapest out there, no matter where you are. Sorry Bacardi haters, but sometimes you gotta give the devils their due.

Smooth, smooth, smooth! Very drinkable. Subtle Smoky, woody, spice notes. Not overly sweet with great character and depth. Very enjoyable!

And I see why. Quite enjoyable.
Nose: Quite enjoyable light floral.
Feel: A little light and watery but warms up increasing the flavours along the way. Not overly harsh but a little warm at the end.
Taste: Light caramel, not much wood or other complexity.
Colour: You can see in the picture as the bottle is not tinted.
Presentation: Nice bottle.
While not quite as good as the limited reserve, at a mere fraction of the cost, I would pick this one every day.

Yeah, not bad at all, but not really a sipper for me. Makes for a great grog or cocktail, though!
It tastes exactly what people think rum tastes like.nothing is too special about it.

One of my favourite rums, Bacardi 8 tastes great straight, with coke and makes banging Old Fashioneds.
Great entry level rum to convince newbies.

For the price, it's delicious. Great way to open your eyes and see what sipping rums can be and test them out. Strong molasses flavor, has a auburn color, and a bit sharper than some others that are pricier. But, clearly, that's what you're paying for.

Great flavour for such little money. Would have scored higher if it had a better nose.

Wbrew pewnym wierzeniom aby udać się do hali Makro bądź Selgros nie należy prowadzić działalności gospodarczej bądź pochodnych działań. Od pewnego, dość niedługiego czasu można korzystać jako osoba prywatna (do czego też zachęcam ze względu na wybór Whisky). Także we wpisach od jakiegoś czasu pojawiały się wpisy z tych sklepów. Dziś kolejny dobry przykład w rewelacyjnej cenie - aż grze było nie brać jak z żoną wpadliśmy na kilka minut do jednej ze wspomnianych hal. Także wieczór umilał nam Rum Bacardi.
ZAPACH: Dość gładki oraz średnio intensywny - palony cukier, morela, melasa. Daleko w tle suszone owoce, rodzynki, wanilia oraz beczka. Alkohol dość dobrze schowany, ale miejscami jednak wyczuwalny.
SMAK: Palony cukier, toffi, wanilia, morela. Dość słodki a w tle beczka. Dodanie lodu podnosi kremowość, łagodność oraz wychodzą nuty suszonych śliwek.
To jest rum który zaskoczył mnie pozytywnie - można go śmiało wypić z przyjemnością bez dodatków co również stwierdziła moja małżonka. Smak jest łagodny oraz dorosły - nie trąci masówką. Oczywiście nie byłbym sobą jakbym nie przyczepił się gumowego korka udającego dębowy.
OCENA: 74/100
