„I usually keep this on hand as a mixer, but it got me curious as to how it would stand up on its own. Thin and subdued on the nose, making it quite hard to discover anything at all. There’s some dried fruits and chopped wood. It’s buttery and mellow, but pretty much nothing else. In the mouth more complex and less diluted than expected. Coconut and dried fruits evolve into an oily profile with lots of orange zest. Darker caramel appears with more vanilla and a hint of juniper. The sugars are quite present, but the experience isn’t overly sweetened or sticky. It drinks above its ABV, but it’s too thin to be truly enjoyable on its own. The finish is short and unexciting, leaving nothing but simple syrup.“

„Ziemlich sprittig und arm an Komplexität. Pur ist er für mich kein Genuss. Als Mischgetränk ist er aber passabel.“

„Surprisingly sharp for 40% ABV—a decent hit of medicinal chemical on the nose. A bit sweeter than I would prefer, but an altogether pleasant candied-baking spices profile for me on the 2nd or 3rd sip.“

„So no it’s not terrible but the dosing takes off lots of points right off the bat. Yes the dosing is light but on principle I don’t like it. Quite frankly an outstanding cocktail rum, but so is Havana club ocho and i’d choose the latter every time unless i wanted slightly more oak which this has.“

„Continues relatively consistently what the 4er already begins. Apricot, honey-vanilla sweetness and the opposite glue and pepper.unfortunately still nothing to really take pure. Shines for it both in drinks with vermouth and with acid. Fun mixer!“

„My favorite Bacardi along with 10YO in a new bottle. Tastes all the same, it is great. Nice sipping rum. Citrusy and apricot notes mingling with vanila and nougat. Short to medium finish is only negative and it could be more full bodied, less diluted.“

„Surprisingly good solo item, quite delicate. In cocktails for me quite similar to 4yo so rather not worth paying extra. In promotion you can get a bottle for around 100zl which in my opinion is already a bargain.“

„It’s a sweet and pleasant nose, vanilla, butterscotch, and some malted elements. On the mouth there is more roasted and woody notes, but overal it feels a bit thin and lacking in complexity, especially given the 8 year age statement. On the finish there are more peppery and spice notes alongside more caramel and sweet elements. Overall it feels like a mixing rum, and there are many others I would pick over it so not entirely obvious where it fits today. Think Havanna Club 7 tries to do something similar but pulls it off in a more balanced package“
