A marvellous 8 year old rum from the Bacardi range, more than suitable for sipping neat, but also incredibly good for using in cocktails and mixed drinks.
The nose is fresh and perfumed with notes of oak and peels, a little syrup with a fennel note. The palate is sweet and rich with tropical fruits, peels and winter spice. The finish is gentle and luscious.
I've tried all of the top rated rums and this one is fantastic...try it and you will be hooked
I usually keep a couple of bottles handy and fill a decanter full when I stock up. Its my everyday sipping rum and the bar that I expect aged rums to meet if they are to be bought again. Nice oaky almost bourbon feel to it with good vanilla and fruit notes. great level of burn at the end while still smooth, lets you know your sipping rum not just flavoring.
... sipping rum, but this was delicious. Was over at a friend's place and he brought out the bottle and a glass - it's smooth and probably a little too tasty. Went out a couple of days later and grabbed my own bottle. Like I say, not an experienced sipper of rum, but I really liked this!
very smooth with or without ice
This is my first foray into the world of sipping rum. Bacardi 8 is quite a nice rum no burn when drinking neat in fact quite smooth. If you are looking for a rum to start with on the sipping rum side of things you won't go far wrong with a bottle of Bacardi 8
