Review by Stefan Persson
Overall an quite OK rum from Cuba Ron S.A., that’s aged for 8 years in old oak casks and bottled without any additives. The nose is fruity with aromas of apples, pears and Armagnac. At the palate and during the medium long finish it’s fruity and nutty with flavors of apples, caramel, some licorice and bitter almonds. The latter flavor gets even more intense during the finish.
Review by Franz K.
Very good fruity rum
Review by zabo
Almost the nightcap of the evening, another CubaLibre mixed with DomM from this rum. At least I think so. It tasted much better than the Cubans from Rum Artesanal. It's nice, but nothing special either. It's not really convincing neat either.

Nice fruity Cuban...
Review by wrighty03
Bitter orange aftertaste not a big fan, very good value if you like orange
Review by DomM
Without endulging in a large blind tasting: this one feels a bit more intense flavorwise than some other Vuban expressions of similar age. A bit more bourbon forwards with vanilla and burnt caramel. Some fruits and honey as well. Good value for money.
Review by Martin Drejer Andersen
Spiriti, at first taste, bit flat in the taste after first minutes. Gets better by waiting
Review by Steve the Barman
All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.
Review by Mc Pirate
That disturbing acidity again! Very strong smell of fermented fruit!
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
A more robust nose than their blanc. Spiced orange, honey and oak lead the way with dark coffee just behind. The taste follows the nose. Lots of cask influence; caramel, vanilla and honey. The finish is short. Reminds me of creme caramel. A little light for me but not bad. Sweet and easily drunk.
Review by Stevie Slick Probert
Subtle tastes of caramel, wood, hints spice Medium finish with a rummy kick
Review by paulgi86
Well another Cuban rum to add to my rum experience Quite a soft, friendly and approachable and somewhat more complex sipper - no caramel flavours but more caramelized sugar or burnt sugar alongside Orange (bitter/peel/flesh) which was a pleasant surprise Quite round, finish is unfortunately very short - no mouth coating flavours with this one, simply in and out in terms of flavour delivery but again despite all that a very well put together rum Just misses the cut on it being a good rum - if it were thicker or more mouth coating meaning that flavour could hang around a bit more then I reckon it could’ve become a permashelf item So very close! But I like this one for sure!
Review by C Ap Adam
The 8 Años promises more on the nose than it delivers, in my tasting. In my short time trying rum, it mixed excellent with cola, however, and the price makes it a very attractive option if you fancy something neat and easy.
