    How does this rum taste?

    • Balanced sweetness and complexity
    • Versatile for sipping and mixing
    • Good budget-friendly choice

    Reserva Ocho Rare Gold Rum is a well-regarded rum from Bacardi, distilled in Puerto Rico using molasses and aged for 8 years. It offers a nose dominated by dried fruits, butterscotch, and an alcoholic hint, with hints of caramel, vanilla, and wood on the palate. Users appreciate its balance between sweetness and complexity, making it a versatile choice for sipping or mixing. Despite its 40% ABV, it has been described as having a sharp and slightly thin character. Ideal in cocktails, its depth is compared favorably to other budget options, though some find it lacking in body or finish.

    "This rum is quite alright. I always compare the Bacardis with the Carta Blanca, but of course this one is a stunner :-) Still tastes slightly alcoholic and woody. Quite quick on the finish. One of the better Bacardis."

    "A pretty decent rum from Bacardi. I have it primarily for mixing, where woody and warm spices come through well. Not bad neat either, perhaps a little too alcoholic. Interestingly, the smell reminds me of black olives."

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