Bacardi Reserva Ocho Rare Gold 8-Year

The standard for cheaper midrange runs. Sweet enough with a little spice. Just a good all around sipper with a rock.

Decent rum for the price. Would have liked a little more flavor

Tastes like rubber and nail polish. I had it in Poland because I couldnt find a decent bottle of rum and have heard it spoken of highly in professional circles. Over there it performed pretty well in drinks, but sipping it neat next to Appleton (which I don't even particularly like) it tasted like chewing on a garden hose on a hot summer day. By god is it bad. But honestly I don't know what I was expecting from Bacardi, makers of some of the worst rum on the planet.

It's a very smooth rum and goes well with your favorite mix.

Cena je tradične vyššia ako hodnota. Pri Bacardi nič nezvyčajné.. Dobrý na cuba libre

This was my go too rum for years nice on the rocks excellent with coke. Hard to give it a lower rating above average for sure.

Tried this in Asia, Dark & Story's in KL. Seemed pretty nice at the time, but holidays always make things better.

Quite pedestrian, okay as a mixer, but not to sip. I've yet to be overwhelmed by any Bacardi offering.

This one is okay. Its a roll of the dice if you like it. Its a shot into the aged category but still cheap.

Although I have always loved Rum as a mix I am new to tasting neat as I have with Scotch. That being the case Bacardi seemed a fair place to start by just increasing the age and price point. As such, I don't have much to compare to right now so have started at mid point of existing reviews and will adjust as I go. As it stands though it is an easy drink and not rough at all so an auspicious start.
