About this deal

Bacardi Ochos Anos Rum is created by blending 8 year old rum with rums aged for between 8 and 16 years.

BACARDÍ Reserva Ocho is a complex golden rum with a deep, layered and mellow flavour of dried fruits, spices and oaky vanilla. If you do require precise ingredient information you should consult the manufacturer, whose contact details will appear on the packaging or label.

A floral sweetness with notes of caramelised banana, balanced with a warm earthiness which ends with a well-rounded, expansive finish. Bacardi Rums benefit from the expertise of master blenders who oversee the aging and blending process to create expressions of unparalleled consistency. Bacardi 8 Year Old Rum is aged to perfection, beautifully capturing rare flavours from the Bacardi family’s treasured recipe. You should also note that the picture images show only our serving suggestions of how to prepare your food - all table accessories and additional items and/or ingredients pictured with the product you are purchasing are not included. After ageing it is blended to perfection featuring notes of prunes, apricots, nutmeg and vanilla over a clean woody background of oak.

From what I’ve seen people were claiming that, despite the change of packaging, the bottle contains the same juice, but that’s definitely not the case for at least one reason – the location where it was produced. It is not quite as “Latin” in terms of oakiness and in particularly smokiness as the Bacardi Reserva. Bacardí® 8 Year Old Premium Golden Rum has been specially crafted using selected barrel-aged rums ranging from eight to nine years old. 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.Still this hasn’t stopped the Bacardi Bashers and the Rum Conspiracy Theorists (there are some absolute crackers to be found online) from suggesting otherwise……. This complexity of flavours is also what makes BACARDÍ Reserva 8 particularly suited to cocktails that require depth and balance such as an Old Fashioned, Rum Negroni, or Hotel Nacional. A refined and crafted sipping rum for the mature palate, this has a rich and complex flavour to be savoured. It’s even more impressive the fact that the Ocho simply has more body, while retaining most of the original aroma of its older version.

Even continuous bottlings are subject to change as time passes by and I’m going to test that theory with these two bottles of Bacardi. A selection of lighter rums that continue to inspire classic refreshing cocktails like the Mojito and the Daiquiri, to dark and complex true aged rums and rare private reserves, Bacardi have a rum for your favorite cocktail or neat sipping experience. Bacardi Rums are known for their diverse character, often marked by a symphony of flavors, from tropical fruits to caramel notes, and a smoothness that mirrors the tranquil waters of the Caribbean. Bacardi was founded in 1862 by Don Facundo Bacardí Massó in Santiago de Cuba, when he bought a distillery and revolutionised the rum-making process to create a smooth, light-bodied spirit and what the world now knows as Bacardi Rum. Known as "The Family Reserve", this BACARDÍ rum was inspired by a recipe from 1862 and was originally kept for family special occasions, but is now available for the world to enjoy.Content on this site is not intended to substitute for advice given by medical practitioner, pharmacist, or other licensed health-care professional. The bottle itself has all the usual Bacardi touches, the bat and the Case Fundada En Cuba slogan emblazoned across the bottom. The brand's focus on high-quality sugarcane and meticulous fermentation ensures the foundation of its premium rums.

On the palate, the rum is sweet and rich, with a delicious combination of tropical fruits, peels, and winter spices. 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.

The brand takes immense pride in its legacy, utilizing traditional methods and premium sugarcane to create expressions that encapsulate the heart of rum-making. Bacardi Rum, a symbol of Caribbean vibrancy and the art of rum-making, stands as a testament to over a century of dedication to producing exceptional spirits.
