Bacardi 8

had this rum recently

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.

This is a review of Bacardi 8 from the Bahamas. A recent purchase at one of the local state liquor outlets. The other outlet in town has the Puerto Rico made 8 which I have not sampled.
Sweet alcohol in the nose. Smooth with good warmth. Light/medium body. Not hot. Hints of fruit, caramel and vanilla. Quite a surprise to me as I would not have expected a Bacardi to be this good at this price range. For the money I'd recommend it as a good every day sipper and as a rum to mix in drinks asking for a fuller flavored rum. I'll get another bottle to put in the cabinet before they exhaust their stock of the Bahamas made product.

Vůně dubová, značně vanilková, karamel, ovoce
Chuť sladší, nahnilé ovoce, dost dubová, karamel, čokoláda
Dochuť sladší, čokoláda, dub, koření (skořice?)
Bohatší, snesitelnější, než mnou doposud nejlépe hodnocené, ale plytké Bacardi Oakheart
6,5/10

Può andare bene in miscelazione o per qualche shot, buon rapporto qualità/prezzo

Drank a lot of this on a Princess cruise as this was the best that they had in some of the bars. Decent mixer with Diet Coke (No Coke Zero) :( The best Bacardi that I've tried.

Не понравился ром, вообще не понравился. Ни вкус, ни аромат и резкий очень. Разве что на коктейли, но зачем тогда брать выдержанный ром? Не стоит этого делать.

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

Vanilla flavor shows in this rum; a definite improvement with the four additional years of aging.

Sweet caramel, sugarcane and soft spices. Not much to it.

Buen sabor a madera y especies interesantes sin ser especiado. En el límite para beberse mezclado o solo

Bacardi rums are good for mixing and very cheap. They’re obviously not good for sipping. This particular Bacardi rum is the only one that can be sipped, if you don’t have high standars

Sampled at the Laka Lono Rum Club Tasting on 9/28/19. Pours a dark gold. A bit buttery to the mouthfeel. Easy on the palate. Velvety sweetness. Lots of honey and treacle. Delicious for the price point. This could be my foundations Bacardi for lots of tiki drinks that call for a PR rum.
