Bacardi
Reserva Ocho Rum
Category: Rum (Aged more than 3 Years)
Date Tasted:
3/27/2024
Country: Puerto Rico
Alcohol: 40%
Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of vanilla crème brûlée, caramelized demerara sugar, and purple flowers with a round, vibrant, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-length finish manifesting notes of vanilla crème brûlée, vanilla and caramel, wisp of cinnamon, and coconut sugar. Liquified caramel; its seeming simplicity is more than made up by a purity and density of confected flavor goodness.

About
Rum (Aged more than 3 Years)
Añejo and Age-Dated Rums are aged Rums from different vintages or batches that are mixed together to insure a continuity of flavor in brands of Rum from year to year. Some aged Rums will give age statements stating the youngest Rum in the blend (e.g., 10-year-old Rum contains a blend of Rums that are at least 10 years old). A small number of French island Rums are Vintage Dated.
