Bacardi 8 Años Reserva Superior 8yr 40%

"Quite a nice piece. Has a nice, slightly sweet nose consisting of vanilla and caramel. Then continues on the palate. Has a light but very pleasant sweetness. I think it's respectable for a Bacardi."

"7,2:The nose is open and generous from the outset. The sugar/vanilla duo is classic, but there is a fruity background of white grapes or sweet white wine. The grape sugar is rich, offering nuances of tobacco and sweet caramel. There's also a golden resin with vegetal accents. On aeration, the first impression is always of sweetness, this time moving towards red fruit candy. Some ripe exotic fruit (papaya, mango), leather and a little cherry pit give a solid structure to the whole. We're again reminded of sweet white wine with what could be a ripe melon drizzled with a drop of muscat. A little acidic, metallic smoke coats the glass over time. 7:On the palate, the rum is sweet and fruity, with banana in particular. Dried fruits appear in a well-balanced whole.The hint of smoke seen on the nose makes a noticeable appearance, before giving way to orange zest powdered with cinnamon. 6,8:The finish is pleasant and sweet, with some caramelized woodiness."

"Definitely better than any basic Bacardi and in fact belong to a different league than them. Mostly one dimensional with vanilla and sweet, however has some fresh note that helps a lot. Interesting:)"
