Bacardi 8 Años Reserva Superior

Impressive palate for a bacardi. Very well crafted. To be enjoyed.

All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.

Solid column still rum.

I was Looking forward to this one since it was said to be great in mixing and not like it’s brethren. On the nose, it smelled like rubbing alcohol. It was not good neat. It’s a decent mixer for the price.

Lo volvería a comprar. Un ron que se disfruta solo

Cough medicine

First impression is "oh this is delicate and not so sweet". I like it, similarity to Brugal Anejo but softer.

There is way to much wood tannin on this for me. Starts out ok but the finish comes fast and is very dry and spicy. Almost antiseptic. I just don’t get this rum. Not for me, I actually prefer the anejo cuatro anos to this.

7,2:The nose is open and generous from the outset. The sugar/vanilla duo is classic, but there is a fruity background of white grapes or sweet white wine. The grape sugar is rich, offering nuances of tobacco and sweet caramel. There's also a golden resin with vegetal accents. On aeration, the first impression is always of sweetness, this time moving towards red fruit candy. Some ripe exotic fruit (papaya, mango), leather and a little cherry pit give a solid structure to the whole. We're again reminded of sweet white wine with what could be a ripe melon drizzled with a drop of muscat. A little acidic, metallic smoke coats the glass over time. 7:On the palate, the rum is sweet and fruity, with banana in particular. Dried fruits appear in a well-balanced whole.The hint of smoke seen on the nose makes a noticeable appearance, before giving way to orange zest powdered with cinnamon. 6,8:The finish is pleasant and sweet, with some caramelized woodiness.

Quite a nice piece. Has a nice, slightly sweet nose consisting of vanilla and caramel. Then continues on the palate. Has a light but very pleasant sweetness. I think it's respectable for a Bacardi.

smooth, woody nice, not necessarily special but still good

Definitely better than any basic Bacardi and in fact belong to a different league than them. Mostly one dimensional with vanilla and sweet, however has some fresh note that helps a lot. Interesting:)

Today I was talked into tasting some of the better Bacardi versions and I don't regret it because now I tried those as well.

Dry and plain. Nothing special tbh. I expected some more wood from this rum. Not sweet so i added more score

A bit boring, but sometimes quite useful in cocktails.
