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.

Very pleasant as a sipping rum. Good aroma, sweet taste with no other aftertaste. Based on price this is a top mixer on my list. Tried it with some of the classic recipes such as Rum Old Fashioned with excelent results.

Full and smooth flavors like smoke/wood, but bourbon does predominate. Not sharp or strong.

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 !

For an aged rum it's just ok. I prefer the Flor de Caña 7 any day.

I had the opportunity to sample Bacardi 8. Not a bad rum considering the price range. Color is light amber. Aroma shows notes of vanilla. The legs are not long. Tasting reveals vanilla and butterscotch. Mild after burn with a short finish. I think it is ok neat but could make a superb coctail rum.

J'ai toujours pensé que bacardi était une marque faite "pour tout le monde". J'ai été surpris en goutant ce rhum 8 ans ! Je l'ai trouvé excellent, il n'agresse pas la bouche. On sent bien le goût de cêne et de sucre/caramel. Il a une bonne odeur vanillée, mais pas très forte. Ce rhum fait parti de mes préférés pour l'instant.
I always thought that was a mark made bacardi "for everyone." I was surprised while tasting the rum 8 years! I found it excellent, it does not attack the mouth. The oak and sugar/caramel flavor tastes good. It has a good smell of vanilla, but not very strong. This rum is one of my favorite for now.

I find it difficult to like Bacardi, but this one is not bad.

Shines in rum and cokes even against more "well regarded" rums, especially at this price point.
