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.

I would still advice to go for similar aged Havana, but still not a bad buy if you are considering this, has also a classy look that i like!

I swear it is really difficult to distinguish this from other Bacardi rums like Reserva. This one is sort of ok but very lackluster. Thin, not complex. No balance or real bite. It just is a boring. You can’t pick this out of the flock. Bacardi just isn't a very good distillery. What they do really well is marketing and merchandising.

Cleans the toilet like bleach. Nothing more the grey water.

Barcadi Ocho is a good entry rum for people who want to broaden their experience into rum from other spirits.

smokey almost whiskey like finish, a good rum for scotch drinkers. Was hoping for more depth of tasting notes.

E gusta el sabor, la suavidad, aunque se nota ese regusto alcohólico un tanto fuerte por eso la nota que aunque se pudieran dar décimas no le pondría muchoas, para combinar no lo usaría y en cuanto al precio no está mal 14'95 / litro, si repetiré? No sé, hay otros que me gustan más y no son más caros

I prefer the Bacardi 8 as a mixing rum when I’m making a rum and coke. It had a good molasses flavor that pairs nice with the soda. I find it to be a little bitter when drank neat.

While majorly not an 8 year old rum, there are still good oak notes. A well balanced blend with strong toffee, oak, and vanilla notes.
