896 8-Year

The flavor is what I’m looking for but it doesn’t com through enough

On the nose, noticabley hotter than comparable bottles (Doorlys 8, etc) and less complex. Some caramel and vanilla up front, oaky almost bitter on the tail. Lacks the depth and fruity richness you'd expect from an 8yr Barbados rum.

This rum has a nice Golden brown hue I tend to love in my rums. It starts out with a full bodied scent, somewhat similar to Demerara rums from Guyana but it stops short. I have purchased it several times and for around $20 bottle I consider it a value as a mixer rum with full bodied flavor and can occasionally sip it like now.

I gave it a 6 as comparing to my staple table rum Pusser’s that clearly is a bit superior.

Not bad at all for the price. Worked well as both a sipper and a mixer for me

Not a ton of difference in the 5 and 8 year but is noticeable enough. Still considering this a mixer.

Nice oak flavor when sipped, but afterburn a little strong. Oakieness took off when mixed

A bit hot for an 8 year rum. Decided to drink with cola

Great aged flavor for every day. Nicely balanced and deep richness. Good for sipping on the rocks. Very good price. Not a 9, but a solid 8

I though this one might be nice and I was not disappointed. Not sure why it hasn't gotten higher ratings. I like the taste and it' pretty smooth. I paid more than some other raters but it still was reasonable. If I could get nothing else for the rest of my life i would be happy.

a tasty, inexpensive, all around good sipping rum, ideal to have around as a versatile house rum.
