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.

Nice bottle.
Toffee brown colour.
Spiritey nose, little aroma.

In the mouth initially quite sharp with a subtle but distinct funky note.

Hint of sweetness, fairly neutral on the palate finishing in light tobacco note.
Not that far from a Doorly XO, but sweeter.

Fair burn.
Ok to sip in the airport lounge but won't rush to buy.

The best of Bacardi's production but it remains a Bacardi smoot an featureless

Même si la matière première n'est pas terrible, heureusement il reste à bacardi de bons maitre de chais qui connaissent leur boulot et arrivent à faire quelque chose de pas trop mal en 8 ans de temps. Il en résulte un rhum assez équilibré, boisé et doux. La force d'un ron réside malheureusement trop souvent dans un vieillissement de qualité et bien maitrisé plutôt que dans un bon spiritueux de base.

I am not a fan of Bacardi rum. I find it very plain and unimaginative. I was given this bottle and figured it worth a try. The amber colour is nice but it lacks the flavours of other ambers. While it is not bad for a Bacardi offering it is not one for the avid rum taster.

The nose is very harsh, and so is the initial taste. Once you get over the solvent flavors, there is a nice butterscotch back flavor. I wouldn't buy this for sipping, but it might make a nice mixed drink

rhum pour faire de bon cocktail, pas vraiment d’intérêt en dégustation

Pre mňa bol tento rum naozaj úvod do sveta lepších rumov. Ide o mierne ostrejší rum,no s peknym dúhovým charakterom. Vhodný samotný i s ľadom,prípadne k cigare. Pre ľudí ,ktorí s rumami začínajú a nechcú sa hneď na začiatok "presadiť" odporúčam.

A bit better than the other, simpler Bacardis, but still most suitable for cocktails

Strong alchol, heavy strange taste, very little sweetness & some spiciness with wood.
