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.

Good taste, not one of my favorites. Still worth trying it!

The Bacardi 8 is a nice sipper for me. I have not tried it as a mixer yet. Easy to drink, a bit of sweetness, oak.

Versatile rum with vanilla and caramel notes with hints of smoke and coffee. I drink it neat with ice but also mixes well with coke, defintely brings out the vanilla if youre into that. All the haters here just hate bacardi and fail at being impartial.

Too neat for my taste, but the box was nice. Wasn't any good without coke.

Top Preis-/Leistung! Sowohl zum Purtrinken als auch gemischt mit Cola zu empfehlen!

Deserves a better rating than its receiving. My favorite sipping rum. Doesn't have the notes of molasses - which makes other rums too sweet. Just great to GAI. (Get after it).

Nice? yes it is. not great but this is already nice rum which you can also sip. I would give higher rate if price would be lower.

A decent choice when you find yourself in a generic bar that doesn't specialize in rum. I can happily drink this, though I slighty prefer the Havana Club anejo especial. Bacardi 8 is very smooth, with a pleasant amount of oakiness. In fact: it's excells in the oak-department. The taste profile is very coherent, which I always appreciate, there is nothing weird in there (but nothing very interesting either). It feels very solid. But the finish is short and the initial taste slighty too sweet. It seems to get sweeter after every sip - probably sugar added - and at the end your taste buds are quite saturated. It's better with ice to take the edge of the sweetness.

There are better in the price range. I got an unpleasant tar taste.
