Bacardi Reserva Ocho Rare Gold Rum (RX3589)

Introducing the Reserva Ocho Rare Gold Rum, a premium Puerto Rican rum produced at the Bacardi distillery. Distilled in 2011 from molasses using a Column Still and aged for 8 years, this rum offers a respectably smooth experience with a 40% ABV. With a prevailing aroma of alcohol complemented by caramel, vanilla, sweetness, and smokiness, it delivers a palatable combination of caramel, alcoholic, woody, caramelized, and pungent flavors. RumX community members have praised its suitability for mixing, describing it as a nice rum for its price, with some even considering it a must-have in their collection. Although the nose can be a bit sharp, this rum offers a long, lush finish and a pleasant overall drinking experience.

„I was looking forward to taste this one as I had a chance to taste bacardi's 10 YO version and I must admit that it held up really nice with it's older brother. 8 YO is less sweet than 10 but sweet enough and it has very similar profile where you can sense the orange, nougat, vanilla, lot of spices and oak barrel in the taste. Very long finish which is great.When it comes to nose it is little sharp and alcoholic but it is not unpleasant. Very nice rum for a very nice price. Absolute must in collection.“

„This rum is a good aged rum from bacardi with a little smoky/woody taste very pleasant. Alcohol taste is light and it can be easily drunk neat. Very good mixed with juice too. Considering the price, it really is a good deal.“
