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.

Fantastic black rum
As an everyday drinking rum with a splash of Diet Coke, this is superb.
Great bang for your buck--this is my 'go to' rum for sipping at home while reading. Liked it better than both the more expensive Bacardi 10 year old, as well as many much more expensive bottles including several other 12 year olds (like El Dorado and Flor de Cana), the sweeter Diplomatico Reserva, and even the Plantation XO 20th Anniversary. Quite surprising from Bacardi! Hope the price doesn't go up as more and more people see what a bargain it is.
This is a nice rum on its own or sip slowly, soothed by the slow seduction of ice gently fusing with the rum . Its the closest you will get to a very smooth malt ... for me the last notes of oak are soothing.. Definately a great buy, and again.
My husband and I visited Puerto Rico 7 years ago and bought the aged rum for Christmas presents. Everyone raves about the rum and want more. It was a rich taste, tingled the tongue, adding heat, forward tasting with a nose aroma and a rich flavor, with a strong after taste. I am a wine connoisseur so I am using that terminology to explain my taste of the rum. I would like to order more bottles so will wait until you can ship.
