Bacardi Reserva Ocho Rare Gold 8-Year

C'est un rhum pas désagréable mais qui n'a rien de spécial non plus niveau saveurs.

I wasn't expecting much from a mass produced brand like bacardi but I was happily proven wrong once I tasted this rum. Has a little bit of added sugar which I could do without but it's not excessive.
Has a nice flavour profile with vanilla, caramel, and a little bit of molasses and tobacco shining through.

Tres fort et long gout d'alcool, reste longtemps en bouche

ok, at first I wasn’t thrilled with this Rum, but after time it’s grown on me and I’m really liking the complexities of it. I do now taste oak, along with spices and a smooth dried fruitiness. It’s not a sweet Rum, at least not in the traditional sense. This isn’t a dessert liquor, but an after steak dinner sit down with a good cigar drinking straight rum. I’ve grown fond of this bottle and I’m really looking forward to replacing my bottle that’s down to a couple drinks left. I originally gave this a 6, but have changed it to an 8. It reminds me of Bourbon which is another love of mine. So anyone who would like a good sipper Rum at a reasonable price, this is a good choice.

This is my first review. I’ve always had rum mixed with other stuff. This is the first that I appreciated by itself. Good for sipping...1 or 2 shot glasses at night. Very smooth compared to other cheaper ones. No bad aftertaste. No harsh flavorings. Just rum pure and simple. Rated only 7 because I haven’t tried others...like higher rated older runs. For me, this is my baseline.

Prune et abricot en bouche et au nez avec des notes de vanille

Není špatný, i když značka dalece předchází jeho kvality.

A bit of peppery spice - good for both mixing and sipping

Dark to golden brown colour. Nosing reveals fresh notes of sweetness, vanilla and light milk chocolate married with a touch of tobacco.
Sipped, this rums shows still real sweetness but its more of a young alcohol hit, rather than as a result of excessive dosage. You will also find oak, vanilla, brown sugar and spiciness on the delivery.
These also dominate the extended finish. There are reports that this is a sugar added rum.

In the line of single canes. Good strong rum. Yes not a sipping rum necessary. But if it’s rum, I sip it. In the house collection.
