With its luscious and gentle flavours, this rum is perfect for sipping neat or for use in cocktails and mixed drinks. In 1862 Don Facundo Bacardi not only set the standards for white rum production by producing the world's first premium white rum, he also produced a number of revolutionary golden BACARDI Rums. The nose of Bacardi 8 Year Old is fresh and perfumed, with notes of oak and peels and a subtle syrup and fennel aroma. Inspired by a family recipe from 1862, BACARDÍ Reserva Ocho 8 year old rum is known as The Family Reserve.

BACARDÍ Reserva Ocho is a complex golden rum with a deep, layered and mellow flavour of dried fruits, spices and oaky vanilla. The current Bacardi Ocho reads on the label “Hecho en Puerto Rico” meaning “Made in Puerto Rico”, which makes sense, but if you read the back label of the Bacardi 8 Year Old it says “Product of Nassau, Bahamas”.I knew before I got into Newcastle Airports duty free that the rum selection would be fairly limited, I expected to pick up some Bacardi, Captain Morgan, Lambs maybe even a Woods or a Pussers.

Bacardi's collaborations with artists, musicians, and mixologists highlight its dedication to creativity and cultural connection. What sets Bacardi apart and makes it truly unique is its role as a trailblazer in the world of rum production. Seven generations on and it was released to the general public as one of the oldest private rum blends in the world. Originally kept as the special reserve of the Bacardi family for over 135 years, this wonderfully fruity, complex, but well rounded sipping aged rum is best savoured neat over a generous serving of ice. Each batch of Bacardi Ocho Rum is made from a special selection of barrel-aged reserve rums and aged for a minimum of 8 years, giving it a refined flavor with notes of prune, apricot, nutmeg and vanilla.

Alternatively, try BACARDÍ Reserva 8 in a Rum Negroni: serve 30ml BACARDÍ Reserva 8, 30ml MARTINI Riserva Speciale Rubino, 30ml MARTINI Riserva Speciale Bitter over ice and garnish with an orange twist. Bacardí® 8 Year Old Premium Golden Rum's exceptional rum flavouring combines subtle notes of oak and maple along with vanilla and caramel, embellished with ginger and cinnamon.

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. He took the same light and heavy rums used to blend BACARDI Superior Rum, and aged them for longer to give them greater depth of flavour. Bacardi 8 Year Old Rum is the premium dark rum from Bacardi made from a blend of rums from between 8 and 16 years old. Whilst the first part of the of the statement may be slightly fanciful the second part indicates to me that ALL the rum in the bottle is at least 8 years old. To date as far as I understand the Bacardi’s I have tried have been from the Puerto Rican distillery.
