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.

It’s ok , nothing more. Not much better than regular Bacardi.

This is a review of Bacardi 8 from the Bahamas. A recent purchase at one of the local state liquor outlets. The other outlet in town has the Puerto Rico made 8 which I have not sampled.
Sweet alcohol in the nose. Smooth with good warmth. Light/medium body. Not hot. Hints of fruit, caramel and vanilla. Quite a surprise to me as I would not have expected a Bacardi to be this good at this price range. For the money I'd recommend it as a good every day sipper and as a rum to mix in drinks asking for a fuller flavored rum. I'll get another bottle to put in the cabinet before they exhaust their stock of the Bahamas made product.

Even at 8 years still a bit rough. A wedge of lime balances it out nicely.

very smooth, flavor gets better with the next one, nice to try in the tropics where it is hot and humid, this rum served with ice, lime and coca cola is outstanding

Purchased a miniature on a easyjet flight to Amsterdam, cant remember the price hit I'm guessing it was around £6 for a 50ml so not overly bad.

Drank straight over ice. Was agreeable, not great to say the least but better than the usual bacardi fare. Would definitely purchase again in similar circumstances

For me the only Bacardi I drink neat, and not mix. Not as smooth as some other dark rums, but still very palatable.
