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.

Wasn't expecting it - strong cask flavor, warming feel - a bit harsh though. Nose doesn't have a lot to tell you. Sipping - OK! cocktails - didn't try yet, but presumably should be interesting. Would recommend to try it out

B8 is my everyday rum. My home 'go to' rum. What I stock and what I drink. Great rum at an affordable price.

Ein Rum den man ohne weiteres pur drinken kann. Nichts besonderes aber auch nichts falsches. Da ich mittlerweile mehrere bessere Rums habe, wird der Bacardi 8 vermutlich im Cola enden.

This is a great rum, I originally got it for mixing in Tiki specific drinks but later on tried it straight, much better than I expected, really great to still have at least one good Bacardi rum in the world. It's a very versatile rum and if you have a short cabinet I say this is a great option.

I bought a 750 ml bottle for $25.
The first time I opened the bottle, I got a rubbing alcohol smell, but luckily didn't encounter that smell after that.
Nose: Very nice and strong typical quality rum smell.
Sip: sweet burning taste on the palette.
Finish: clear taste of sweet molasses and vanilla. Long finish.
Despite of what some say, this is a great sipping rum. It's only a tiny bit inferior to say $50 rums like ron zacapa 23 yr or zafra 21 yr. A must buy for frequent rum drinkers. It pairs very good with cigars as well.

Your review – you could include things like color, aroma, body, taste, finish, spice, smoothness… really anything you want! You can also share an optional picture of the drink (or better still - you enjoying it!) by attaching a photo below.

Este ron lo suelo tomar mezclado con Coca-Cola, es un ron suave y ligero, es uno de mis consentidos

Not a bad rum for this price. Smooth flavor but nothing special.

Nice bottle.
Toffee brown colour.
Spiritey nose, little aroma.

In the mouth initially quite sharp with a subtle but distinct funky note.

Hint of sweetness, fairly neutral on the palate finishing in light tobacco note.
Not that far from a Doorly XO, but sweeter.

Fair burn.
Ok to sip in the airport lounge but won't rush to buy.
