Bacardi Reserva Barrel Select Spec’s 8-Year

Fruit and almond flavors. Sweet cigar flavor. Good rum

I have been a fan of the Bacardi 8yr for years... carmel, bananas and a sweet finish.
I had high hopes for this barrel select, but was very disappointed by the bitter finish.
This is not the first time i have not enjoyed a specs pick, previously it was a tequila that was artificially sweet to me.

Was okay, not sure I want to drink it straight, may be good in a mixed drink

Decent, but not as smooth as I would like. I can find better rums in that price range.
