Bacardi 8 rum

Bacardi 8

United States | Aged | 40% ABV

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.

Widely available around the world, this is a good rum to bank on if uncertain of what else is out there. Initially I drank this straight as my regular rum while keeping the rest of the cabinet untouched but I was probably not given this rum the credit it deserves.

It's a nice mellow golden rum, slightly sweet with a clean finish.

This is at the moment my "everyday" rum. It's affordable, easy to find and has a nice taste to it.

This is so far removed from Bacardi Superior as its possible to be ! My favourite rum to have with a good make of cola (Theres plenty if you look around) This is great value for money and very well made ! Dont buy their cheap stuff but invest another $20 in a bottle of the 8 , you wont regret 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.

Este ron puede tomarse confiablemente sin que te de daños colaterales como lo hacen sus hermanos de menor edad

BEST Bacardi product I've ever tried - a brand known for being ultra-sweet-sweet-sweet, this one has a LOT more character in its taste profile than just tons of overbearing sugar. Smoky oak & spice push through nicely, gently heating up the palate, and a nice finish lingers, with ever-so-slight a burn in the throat, but not so much that it's an unpleasant experience. A quality sipper, much to my surprise and delight!

I bought a 750 ml bottle for $25.
The first time I opened the bottle, I got a rubbing alcohol smell, but luckily didn't encounter that smell after that.
Nose: Very nice and strong typical quality rum smell.
Sip: sweet burning taste on the palette.
Finish: clear taste of sweet molasses and vanilla. Long finish.
Despite of what some say, this is a great sipping rum. It's only a tiny bit inferior to say $50 rums like ron zacapa 23 yr or zafra 21 yr. A must buy for frequent rum drinkers. It pairs very good with cigars as well.

Prima rum van Bacardi, zoetig met fruit smaken, hout en vanille heb ik ook kunnen ontdekkken..
Dit is een sipper wat mij betreft, en ben nu ook benieuwd naar de Reserva Limitada.
