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.

Ce rhum est magnifique. C’est une explosion de saveur en bouche. La vanille et le caramel sont bien présents mais on sent aussi cette subtilité ajouté par le passage en fut de porto. Le final est très long et délicieux. Si vous en voyez il faut absolument le gouter !
This rum is beautiful. It is an explosion of flavor on the palate. You can taste vanilla and toffee but also that subtlety added by its finish in oporto cask. The aftertaste is very long and delicious. If you see it, you HAVE to try it!

le même goût que le Vizcaya mais en plus concentré. Pour moi ce rhum frise la perfection et est sans aucun doute au même niveau qu'un El dorado 21. À goûter absolument ! Miamm!

Nice smell, fruity.

What a nose. It is like jam or marmelade. Sweet and sticky and yet very complex. One of the best rums I have ever had my nose in.
Taste is great. Very smooth. Tastewise I will place this bottle somewhere in between QRM 30 aniversario and Unhiq XO.

Super smooth with a wonderful texture and clean flavors of caramel, vanilla and a touch of butterscotch. Finish is long in the mouth with a slight cinnamon spice on the tongue. Not too sweet but just sweet enough. If the finish was just a touch more sweet it would be a perfect run for me. Highly recommend this and recommend to drink it neat.

Although the presentation is not very striking (which is already usual in rum Oliver & Oliver), however is a soft rum, a little sweet, caramelized and slightly fruity, is a rum with very good balance. I totally recommend it, even if the presentation is a little dull.
Aunque la presentación no es muy llamativa (lo cual ya es usual en los rones de Oliver & Oliver), sin embargo es un ron suave, un poco dulce, acaramelado y ligeramente frutado, es un ron con muy buen equilibrio. Lo recomiendo totalmente, aunque la presentación sea algo floja.

I really enjoy the smell and taste of this rum. But it feels a bit harsh to me; like it's not well aged.
The bottle doesn't say how old the rum is. I read a Rum Corner review that said it was a blend of both younger and older rums. I can't confirm, but it does taste a bit young to me.
Smells and tastes of molasses, vanilla, and spice. Quite nice actually, but I don't find it as smooth as other rums in this price range. It's the slight harshness that knocks this from a 10 to a 9 for me.

Nice dark amber color, this rum is on notes of vanilla, honey, caramel, very pastry. Woody comes with time. There are also plum notes. On the palate, we find the same aromas, very sweet, with a nice finish but not too long. It's not bad, but you can find better.

This one had a strong finish.. First a kick with pure ethanol. Then comes the flavours.. I can feel some coffe, oak with a hint of coco.. The fun part is when the taste fades.. It leaves you with a sweet taste in the the mouth.. A must in the sippingsection..

Ce rhum est complexe sucre equilibre et quel gout.sur la vanille on sent le caramel.vif et doux a la fois il n est pas sur l alcool.parfait.il est dans mon top 3 avec le quorhum 30 et opthimus 25 oporto finish.cette bouteille rare montre une fois de plus la qualite de la maison oliver.note 9.5.
Smells sweet but also oaky.
"It is a well balanced rum. When sipped, or mixed with a little ice or water the Bacardi 8 is very decent. It’s very smooth and easy to sip."
"when sipped the rum isn’t actually as sweet..."

This was a surprise! 7 out of 10

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.
