896 8-Year

Not bad at all for the price. Worked well as both a sipper and a mixer for me

Not a ton of difference in the 5 and 8 year but is noticeable enough. Still considering this a mixer.

Nice oak flavor when sipped, but afterburn a little strong. Oakieness took off when mixed

A bit hot for an 8 year rum. Decided to drink with cola

Great aged flavor for every day. Nicely balanced and deep richness. Good for sipping on the rocks. Very good price. Not a 9, but a solid 8

I though this one might be nice and I was not disappointed. Not sure why it hasn't gotten higher ratings. I like the taste and it' pretty smooth. I paid more than some other raters but it still was reasonable. If I could get nothing else for the rest of my life i would be happy.

a tasty, inexpensive, all around good sipping rum, ideal to have around as a versatile house rum.

By far it not a bad rum, but it missing something. I always use a lime when mixed with coke, but this brand needs one. I am at a lost for an eight year old rum. I would buy it again only if my other specialty rums were out of stock. If you never tried it, I would recommend it.

Fairly mild at first and a spicy finish. Probably a decent mixer.

It's noticeably smooth to drink but in muting the harshness they seem to also mute the flavors. There are some mild dried fruit flavors with a bittersweet vanilla finish. It's good and smooth but nothing pops. I will revisit this as I do most of my reviews.
