Purchased to complete the ingredient list for Trader Sam's Shrunken Zombie Head (and standard Zombie) cocktail. No other reason.
Smell can trigger strong memories and this did. Opening the bottle and taking a strong whiff, I smelled molasses and suddenly remembered something from my childhood.
When I was very young we had an inflatable tepee for a time in our living room. It was fun to hide and play in. It was similar in design to a swimming pool raft and made of vinyl.
AND THIS SMELLED JUST LIKE IT. Wow. I was smacked by a forgotten memory and was nauseous from the odor.
Okay. Just opened. So how does an 8-year aged rum taste? Citrus, spice and molasses, reminding me strongly of Pyrat rum... and vinyl.
Mixed in a cocktail it's mostly tolerable, so this is only the second worst rum I've ever tried. (The first being Wray and Nephew since nothing covers that funk and I threw it away.)
I'll work through this and probably try Don Q 7-year next time.
But come on. Who is ranking this to a 6? I like Bacardi's cheap gold better than this.
Barely anything on the nose… like is there alcohol in there? Then tasting, initially a very light caramel flavour that very quickly gets overtaken by a pure alcohol burn. Very little after taste except for some smokiness. I bought it for cocktails but im wondering if camouflaging it in a cocktail will make it better. This was the first and definitely the last time of picking this one up from a store.
My local bars have no good rum, so when I stopped in a bar which had this on the shelf, I was surprised and very happy. Typically grassiness from Spanish style rums, nice toffee and caramel notes. Nothing exceptional, but also really nice if there’s nothing else around. Has a special place in my heart. You did good kid, you did good haha.
Smooth mouth and throat feel. Getting flavors of vanilla, carmel, brown sugar, and slight apple. Has a nice lasting finish with good warmth. This is not a complex rum, but the blending is done well. Surprisingly smooth all around.
Hint: when I added a few drops of water, it produced a distinct carmel apple note.

Mixed with Coke, good but not great. Hard to identify aftertaste.
Drinkt prima weg. Smaak is goed en ligt tikkeltje scherp in de mond.

I gave Bacardi a chance with one of their “higher-end” rums and it’s about what I expected. Overly sweet and tasting full of additives.

A real surprising find - its a Barcardi that actually is very nice. Whilst being extremely light on our noses we weren't expecting much but actually the taste comes punching through, citrus and light woody notes all the way through and ends very creamy and with a little hint of something spicy. £31 retail and this is a really great rum for that price, we'd easily replace this bottle with a new one when it ends. We're rum snobs and are so really shocked by how it came out but the lack of smell lets it down - good, yes, just not good on all points.
Rating: 6/10
Smell - light, sweet, vanilla
Taste - rich in flavour, full-bodied, citrus, cedarwood, cocoa
After Taste - medium to long, creamy, a little hint of spice that isn't overwhelming

A good Bacardi rum with some age and that typical Bacardi flavour. Makes a very good rum and coke ,easy drinking at a good price $40 @ LCBO
It’s light, slightly floral. It’s quite a fresh nose with a lot of vanilla and light milk chocolate.
"There is a honeyed sweetness with this rum which does become a little cloying at times. That combines with a slightly bitter finish which becomes a touch over oaked."

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.
