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.

I bought some of this on a fishing trip with a couple friends turned out to be one of my top 10 rums not to strong or light just right for me
I have tasted better stuff that home distillers have made and aged themselves. For 8 years it should be much smother than it is. Not a good value buy.
This rum is easy to find, so that's a big plus, and it's not too bad. Smooth it is not. Perhaps as a mixer.
I always like to taste every rum straight because the flavors are there.. So the 8 year Bacardi stands perfect to my mouth.. Not to heavy a little bit complex of caramel ,cinnamon and pepper at the end. Has no duration to the aftertaste so I think that it would be perfect for Mohito and other rum cocktails
Though IMO there are quite a few other rums in the $20-25 price range that are better, such as Pusser's, El Dorado 12 yr, Abuelo 7 yr or Matusalem 15 yr. Widely available and a good go-to.
One thing I feel I should mention - Mojitos should be made with a light rum. This might be good with mint and lime, but it doesn't make a true mojito.
It is very much what you would expect from a medium-aged Spanish-style rum. Very lightly dosed, not in the "compensation" way some brands do it. On the nose there's a real note of gasoline, but no off-flavors on the pallet, just lots of oak, vanilla, and a little spice. Smooth. Very persistent butter/cream note during the finish.
As a sipper it would receive a 6/10 but since it makes my favorite rum old fashioned I'll allow it a 7.
Saw this on sale at our local ABC, read a bunch or reviews here and basically got from them "good intro sipper" so I bought one. My first sip I gagged! So not one to jump the gun I tried another glass. Still did not like it. Day two, no improvement in my mind.
This rum does not taste like rum, it is closer to a peaty scotch whiskey. The smoke flavor is overpowering and it has quite a bit of alcohol bite, not smooth at all.
I would never recommend this to a newbee for sure and if you are a rum aficionado, you most likely would feel the same as me - stay away....
Not my idea of a sipper. Works well with grapefruit juice for me.
7,2:The nose is open and generous from the outset. The sugar/vanilla duo is classic, but there is a fruity background of white grapes or sweet white wine. The grape sugar is rich, offering nuances of tobacco and sweet caramel. There's also a golden resin with vegetal accents.
On aeration, the first impression is always of sweetness, this time moving towards red fruit candy. Some ripe exotic fruit (papaya, mango), leather and a little cherry pit give a solid structure to the whole. We're again reminded of sweet white wine with what could be a ripe melon drizzled with a drop of muscat. A little acidic, metallic smoke coats the glass over time.
7:On the palate, the rum is sweet and fruity, with banana in particular. Dried fruits appear in a well-balanced whole. The hint of smoke seen on the nose makes a noticeable appearance, before giving way to orange zest powdered with cinnamon.
6,8:The finish is pleasant and sweet, with some caramelized woodiness.

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."

Needed a better rum in small town liquor store and found this aged Bacardi. I am not too high on Bacardi other than Limon but this was quite good considering the over produced approach. I like with Soda or in a dark & stormy. Decent price as well.
