I was expecting a subpar, boring rum, but it’s very good for the price. Spicy oak balanced with rich vanilla and baking spices. Solid
Sadly 4 years makes a big difference. I thought the 12 year Bacoo was very good and hoped this 8 year version would come close. OK, its not bad at all, but it's nothing like the older version. Vanilla and sweet sugar great the nose, The long legs and almost dark amber color are most likely just added to the natural rum. Alcohol slightly burns the nose but is quickly lost replaced by a smooth sweet taste that is also quickly lost, leaving virtually no after taste at all. I'll enjoy is as it should be, mixed.
Sweet Vanilla nose. Really sweet.
Nice amber color.
Plenty of flavor. I get a lot of flavors from the Bourbon barrels. The first sip falls a little flat but being an easy sipping rum, the flavors seem to improve as you go.
My only issue, I'm pretty sure there is added sugar. It coats your tongue like a piece of candy in the end.
For the price, it is a great rum to bring to parties, mixing cocktails at home, and it's a surprisingly good sipper! I've paid nearly double for similar tasting rums.
8/10
I bought this for mixing primarily. Own its own, I wasn't able to get much on the nose. Tasting, I get the vanilla and oak but on the end I get a subtle fruit note too.
Na samostatné pitie pre mňa určite nie. Do mix drinkov áno ale solo nie. Nasladlá vôňa ( banán), chuť karamel, čokoláda.
Vôňa 6/10

Inferior by far to the Bacoo 12 year, but this is still a pleasant mixer, vanilla bean and oak-heavy.
Not bad.

The legend of the Bacoo spirit is quite hilarious upon first reading about it from their website. It is a dwarf like spirit that almost sounds like a spider monkey with long arms and legs, big eyes, and short height, especially when it's favorite foods are bananas and milk. This Bacoo can do both good and bad things, so to keep him happy, provide him with a daily supply of milk and bananas. When he is bad, add these favorites into an empty bottle of rum and then cork him in tightly, which can later be cast out to sea. The company's motto is Unleash The Spirit. This marketing campaign is almost as ridiculous as for The Kraken monster, but unlike Kraken Rum, this Bacoo 8 year old is quite good.
Bacoo Rum is basically made from cane juice obtained from sugar cane grown on the island, and then aged in oak whiskey barrels. It is literally from farm to table and their age is honest and not based on a confusing solera system designed to deceive buyers. At only $23, this is a good buy for an 8 year old rum. The nose basically assaults the senses with complex flavors and no alcohol burn. It is smooth on the tongue with even more complex pleasant flavors going down the pipe. As it breathes in the bottle over the next few weeks, this may change, and hopefully for the better. Technically, this is a rhum agricole, but does not taste like one at all due to spending eight years in charred oak bourbon barrels.
So maybe some Bacoo Rum with Bumbu banana flavored rum and cream could soothe this spirit. It was delicious at the very least, and no wonder this drink worked well. After sipping Bacoo 8 neat a few weeks later, those "complex" aromas and after taste revealed themselves to be banana. The company did not say anything at all about NOT adding sugar, so some small banana flavoring must have been added to appease the Bacoo spirit. No wonder I like it! Then again, I now think twice about searching for the Bacoo 12.
Update May 14, 2018: Drink too much of this crap and the Bacoo Spirit will get to your system and marry you to the royal porcelain throne the next day if not sooner. For this reason, it gets docked from a rating of 6 to a rating of 5, which means that I will never buy this one again. My rating of 6 means that I would even think about buying it again, but highly unlikely. My ratings of 5 and below means that I would never buy these again.
